Listing broker remarks

There’s something special about a home that feels welcoming the moment you arrive. Set on a spacious corner lot with an expansive side yard, 18 Highland Avenue is a charming antique Colonial with farmer’s porches made for morning coffee and relaxing evenings. Inside, tall ceilings, built in cabinets, recessed lighting, and detailed moldings give the living and dining rooms so much warmth and personality. The kitchen brings everyone together with maple cabinetry, granite counters and an island, while the first-floor laundry room and full bath makes life easier. Recently painted throughout, the home feels fresh while retaining its original warmth and character. The back deck provides additional space for outdoor enjoyment and easy access to the backyard with room to garden, gather and play. Upstairs you will find 3 generous sized bedrooms and another full bath. The spacious walkout basement provides plenty of room for storage or a workshop. Full of character and ready for its next chapter, this is a home you’ll want to see in person.— Century 21 North East
