About this 3 bedroom 2 bath house

Built in 1960, this classic red-brick ranch offers 2,036 square feet plus a sunroom and a wonderful collection of vintage details that give the home its personality. A circular drive leads to the welcoming green front door and into a true foyer--a feature that immediately sets the tone for this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home. The front living and dining rooms flow together beautifully, accented by warm wood flooring and an impressive full wall of built-in bookshelves. The home's love of built-ins continues into one of the bedrooms, where another wall of bookshelves adds both character and function. Even the hallway holds a little piece of mid-century nostalgia with an adorable original phone nook. Both baths retain their vintage ceramic tile--one dressed in shades of blue and the other in warm cream, tan and brown tones--adding authentic charm for the period. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features a pass-through to the den, keeping the spaces connected while maintaining their individual purpose. Terracotta tile-look gives the den a warm, casual feel, while the adjoining sunroom is finished in slate tile and offers another inviting space to relax and enjoy the backyard. And what a backyard it is! Deep, spacious and ready for everything from gardening and entertaining to a Saturday afternoon pickup football game. Storage is another strong suit. The oversized laundry room is lined with cabinetry and offers plenty of room for an additional refrigerator or freezer--practical space that is always appreciated. Set in a neighborhood where walking, biking and jogging are favorite pastimes, this home combines the easygoing comfort of a classic brick ranch with the architectural touches that make this home practical and so appealing.
