On this level you will find a large primary bedroom, and two other sizeable bedrooms, stunning hardwood flooring, a 4 pc bathroom and another enclosed porch that could be a "snug" or a yoga room / mini-bedroom for the grandkids! An efficient hot water boiler heats the home. The double brick construction acts as an insulator for both the heat & cold. An accessible attic provides additional storage.The back yard is spectacular, private and fenced.
