It’s a rare event to have this home come up For Sale as it’s been in the same family for over 56 Years! There’s a sense of history here you feel as you arrive. Entering this charming home from the formal entry gives a sense of what’s to come. The lifestyle of when this home was built in 1939 was centered around the large formal living room with fireplace and large picture windows and French style doors leading to the rear covered patio and deep backyard. Towards the front of the house is the formal Dining Room and cozy kitchen which lends itself to be opened up and updated to accommodate today’s style of living.

The front bedroom has its own attached Half-Bath. BONUS FEATURE: Attached to the rear of the garage with a separate entrance is a studio with its own ¾ bath. This is perfect for a lady-laire, man-cave, teenager room, home gym, private office, or educational Pod for the kids.
