The rear bedroom is especially enchanting with vintage built-in drawers, a window seat, random-width flooring, and original doors that capture the soul of this remarkable home. The grounds are equally special, featuring a welcoming front lawn that stretches beyond the garage, mature gardens, and two tucked-away outdoor retreats perfect for quiet mornings, reading, or entertaining. A long rear driveway provides convenient off-street parking and added privacy. Ideally located with easy access to Route 320, I-476, and I-95, the home offers seamless connectivity while remaining close to everyday conveniences and beloved local destinations.
