Old-world charm meets modern updates in this 3-story, 2.5-bath twin. Throughout the house all appliances, utilities, plumbing, wiring and fixtures have been updated within the last 10 years. This includes 3-zoned heating and 2-zoned central A/C with digital thermostats for energy savings. Enter through the original wrought iron gate to the Trex front porch where you can sit and enjoy park views and the scent of wisteria and roses. Through the original oak front door, you will find original wide plank floors throughout. The expanded living room has 9-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace and lots of wonderful light flowing through the oversized double-hung windows. A tiled powder room was added to the first floor in 2006 for convenience.
