A stone walkway and perennial gardens warmly welcome you to this brick, 2-storey century home. Take in the sunrise while sitting on the covered South-facing side porch listening to the rustling of the maple leaves swaying in the breeze and watching the hummingbirds in their glory. An entry to the basement has been sealed and the upper area is utilized for storage.
