Size matters! And in this home you won't be disappointed because the rooms are HUGE and there are so many of them! Let's start with the main floor...you'll love the living room with wood fireplace & cool accent beams that is open to the large dining room & kitchen with fun black & red cabinets. Now let's go up a floor to find 3 of the 6 bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a huge walk-in closet (or nursery). There is also a full bath on this level. Up one more flight you'll find THREE MORE awesome bedrooms. The unfinished basement is great for all your storage needs and houses the laundry. Outside, you'll love relaxing on the covered front porch or kicking back a cold one on the back deck. You have a fenced-in front yard and spacious backyard that could be converted to include off-street parking (maybe even build a garage). You are a quick drive to the city, I-79, 1-376, the airport, Robinson & so much more! Walk to the bus line. Flip it, rent it, live in it...your options are endless!
