When you said: "I don't want a cookie cutter. I want an older house with lots of charm that has updates." Here's the answer to that wish list. Picture perfect, meticulously maintained, charming brick 1- 1/2 story home! It features all of the features you want in an older home like a red brick exterior with custom white shutters, arched doorways, a cozy dining room, fireplace, hardwood floors, built-ins, and a 4-season sunroom overlooking your beautiful landscaping. With all of the old world charm, there have been many updates like a newer roof, new mechanicals (2025&2026), new siding on the back dormer. The home has a 2 car attached garage, but in 2015, another huge 2 car garage was added as well as the sidewalk and driveway. 1 bedroom on the main floor has been converted to an office
