Welcome to this classic north side New Englander! Just 3 blocks from Derryfield Park, you'll have recreation and open air at your fingertips, as well as the best spot in town for sunset-watching. Step inside and you'll immediately see the period details that give the home its charm--beautiful maple floors (just refinished), French doors, bulls-eye moulding, and a carved newell post at the stairs. A large bay window lets in plenty of light in the roomy living room, and the dining room includes built-ins and a pass-through to the secondary kitchen. The main kitchen area has enough room for an island or an informal table, as well as updated cabinets and granite counters, and all the appliances are brand new. Just off the kitchen coming in from the driveway there's a convenient mudroom. Upstairs the pine floors in two of the three bedrooms, the hall, and 3/4 bath have been refinished and glow with welcoming warmth; and more built-ins and a grand attic with slide-down stairs answers any storage questions you may have. The back yard is surprisingly large and accessible from the walk-out basement, so woodworking projects or gardening supplies are easy to get in and out. There's a nice mix of sun & shade back there for laying out or hanging out--or if you're the sociable type, sit on the front porch and wave at your neighbors and their dogs! The furnace, hot water heater, & oil tank are all less than 7 years old, so you can spend your money on decor instead of updates. Make it yours!
