This home is a gem! Welcome home to a beautiful, all brick English Tudor on a purely residential street! Walk into an inviting living room accentuated with hardwood floors, recessed lighting and a huge bay area window, which invites a massive amount of natural sunlight into your home. The sun exposure lights up your home, and your heart. Then, entertain family and friends in your formal dining room; this area comfortably seats six people. There is a full bathroom nestled between two large bedrooms with ample closet space; the first floor bathroom is trimmed in white timeless tiles. Then, head into a very spacious kitchen featuring gleaming 30" oak cabinets, granite counter-tops, stainless steel appliances and, best of all, a breakfast eat-in area! Furthermore, this all leads to an additional room off of the kitchen, which can be used as a third bedroom, a den or an office. The second floor can also be used for additional storage, or it can be converted into additional living space in its current structure or it can be converted into a dormered attic. Then, unwind and relax in your finished basement! The basement features a kitchenette, a full bathroom, a cozy space that can be utilized as a family room and two (2) additional bedrooms, which adds to the functionality and value of this home. More so, the basement can be converted into multi-generational housing with all its previously mentioned basement amenities coupled with a walk-out basement for that added sense of privacy! Then, after a long day, enjoy your beautiful yard; it is nearly a maintenance free yard! Close to shopping, various transportation arteries and top-rated schools including Taft High School! Show and sell! Easy to show. A 10!
