Built in 1929. 3 bedrooms, 1 bath with whirpool tub. 1 quarter-size toilet and sink in 1st floor closet (for prior day-care use!)
LR, DR, studio room with storage, sunroom off DR. Entry vestibule. Lots of original trim and doors in reasonable shape, for most part. Melange of wood paneling, much of it original, and not as bad as the photos make out. All other built-in shelving atrocious. Kitchen OK, with pantry and birch cabinets. Coat closet in LR under stair. Working FP. Many types and conditions of windows, with some replacements. Bow window has rotting sill....Two closets in upstairs hall. Decent closets in each bedroom.
Older (retrofitted) gas furnace and water heater. Forced hot water baseboard.
Exterior siding is original shingles. Original wood detailing remains but will need some help in places. Older roof; will need to be replaced in next 5 years. Chimney needs repointing.
Corner lot, with potential for very nice private terrace between house and 1-car garage.
Neighbors have been planting beautiful gardens on four-foot strip adjacent to their property. Encroachment will be investigated.
Established family neighborhood feels elevated, and is away from through-traffic. Stop and Shop is a 5 minute walk and miles away. Close to Carla and Gigi.
