Some glossy mid-century wallpaper, an entry hall w/wrought iron railing and a sunken Living Room with substantial room-dominating brick fireplace with slate hearth and brick and slate planter box and electric outlets above fireplace for the sunburst clock that was probably there once. Living room opens to a very private, fully vinyl fenced with 2 gates, well landscaped oasis of a back yard with 2 storage sheds, a brick side patio type deck and side deck. Full Dining Room is adjacent to Sun Room with 7 windows and door to side deck and outside.
