Listing Description

This lovely home sits in an ideal location on beautiful Drake Ave. in Centerville. The large corner lot is bordered by an alley on the side and another alley borders the back, giving easy access for an unattached garage to be built in the back yard. The home already has an attached, 2 car garage that is actually finished too nicely to be used as a garage.

The stone facade and new sidewalks add so much curb appeal. The inside has several nicely done newer upgrades, but a touch of 1950's nostalgia was purposely left and only adds to the charm. A stunning wood burning fireplace adorns one entire wall in the living room, and there is an additional family room/dining room.

Two bedrooms and 2 baths (one brand new and one that has been left with the original character) are on the main floor. The open concept kitchen currently has a laundry area, but there are also hookups in the basement. The basement walls have been replaced and finishing this space would be easy and would give so much more living space!

A nonconforming bedroom and 1 bath are in the lower level and the storage is substantial. This gorgeous home is located within sight of the YMCA, a medical clinic, and only a short walk from the historic town square, which has so many unique shops and restaurants. The city park, with an amazing pool, tennis courts, and walking paths is also just a short jaunt from this awesome property. Drake Avenue is lined with stunning historic homes and is a highly sought-after neighborhood.
