The Heart of Beaverdale. There's a reason people seek out Beaverdale Bricks by name — this home is one of the finest examples of why. Built in 1927, this classic 1.5-story home delivers timeless curb appeal, irreplaceable character, and more living space than nearly any comparable home in the neighborhood — all at a price that makes it one of the best values on the market today. At 1,697 sq ft this home includes 4 bedrooms, a versatile flex room, and 2 full baths — a rare layout that adapts to virtually any lifestyle. Rich hardwood floors run throughout, a classic fireplace anchors the living space, and original architectural details remind you that craftsmanship like this isn't built anymore. The owners have already invested in the big-ticket items that matter most: a newer roof, update d furnace & air conditioner plus premium upgrades include Kohler whole-home generator, and an iSpring Reverse Osmosis water filtration system that deliver peace of mind and are rarely found at this price point. Step out back to a private deck overlooking a shaded, serene backyard — your own quiet retreat tucked away from the bustle. Out front, a welcoming patio sets the tone the moment you arrive. An oversized detached 1-car garage completes the package, with a large unfinished basement with significant storage space and future potential. Stroll just five minutes to the iconic Snookie's Malt Shop. In Beaverdale you don't just move in - you become a part of it.
