Listing broker remarks

Stately nine room four bedroom hip roof colonial with easy access to all points. First floor rooms feature exquisite natural gumwood woodwork as to the fireplace surround, crown moldings and built in book shelves. This home was once a doctor's at home office so in addition to the first floor living room, diining room and kitchen there was a waiting room and the doctor's office. Those rooms now function as den and family room but could also could be fifth first floor bedroom or a small first floor in-law offering a bedroom, sitting room and it's own private bathroom. There is walk-up to a very large attic for abundant storage or possible future additional living space. The lot with this home is very large at 8,995 square feet which provides a very nice enclosed fenced-in rear yard.— Brad Hutchinson Real Estate
