The practical layout features an entryway mudroom, a spacious exposed-beam kitchen & dining area, a 1st floor bath, a generously sized living room with a murphy bed, a top floor bedroom suite with walk-in closet & second full bath, basement storage, and in-unit laundry.

Located down a charming brick path, this turn-key property is filled with sunlight and views of mature trees in its idyllic setting. Residential exemption available to reduce taxes. All of this with no HOA!
