A lovely front garden invites you in through the wrought iron gate to the sunny perennial pollinator garden. A flagstone walkway leads to a large, open, maintenance free front porch. Through the front door you find tall ceilings, a sunny living room and dining room and a large updated kitchen with ceramic tile floor, granite counter-tops, some original built-in cabinetry, and new Bosch dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen is a newer mud/laundry room and a powder room. In the mud/laundry room is the back door which opens to a large maintenance free deck (installed in 2012) for outdoor entertaining. Beyond is a spacious fully fenced back yard with mature trees, flowering shrubs and a small water feature. The rear yard overlooks the playing fields at the Water Tower recreation center.
