A door from the kitchen leads to the spacious, newly enclosed first-floor porch. This airy room is the perfect spot to sip your tea in the morning. A handy powder room with an oak storage vanity completes the first floor. Upstairs, a large open landing leads to three bedrooms, each with big windows and pretty treetop views. The main bedroom has a door to the second-floor enclosed porch. This recently renovated space allows a charming tree-house view over picturesque Ogden Avenue. The full hall bath offers great space and potential. The third floor is a large open space with potential to be used as an office/studio or simply as a spacious fourth bedroom. Access to the ample storage eaves may be found on this level. The unfinished basement is home to the laundry area and an antique pinball machine (included free of charge) with plenty of space for handy projects. Outside, a one-car detached garage is a perfect spot to stow gardening equipment. Your thoughtful landscaping will make this home a showpiece that may be admired from Swarthmore Avenue as well as Ogden.
