Italian Porcelain Tile, an original banister with solid maple stairs leading you to the second floor with Cuban Tile throughout are just but a few of the appointments that make this home so notable. There are 3 Bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs and the main bath has been fully renovated with a large shower and mosaic tiling. There is a workshop and laundry room with new washer, dryer, and freezer and an updated 200amp electric panel.
