About This Home

Come see this beautifully-envisioned home, nestled in the heart of the cherished Longfellow neighborhood! Moments away from local amenities; coffee, food + drinks, movies + POPCORN! 3820 has everything you need to start your next chapter. The freshly painted open front porch offers you the serenity you seek for that first cup of coffee in the morning, or that last sip of something cold after a hot day. The spacious living room lends itself to settling in and entertaining alike! Artistic updates of this gem make this the perfect fit for your lifestyle. Updated appliances in the kitchen, adjacent dining nook, along with main-level laundry for your convenience. Plenty of room to add a generous garage, or keep as-is for outdoor leisure, entertainment or a great space for starting your gardening dreams! Two bedrooms upstairs, or bedroom + office/nursery and three deep closets provide ample storage. You need to see this beautiful envisioned walk-in shower as well! Lovingly maintained flowerbeds and plantings abound! (see attached list of flora). Unfinished, cellar-style basement houses all of the important pieces of your puzzle, without all of the upkeep. Welcome home! New furnace and AC in 2023, newer windows in much of the home, reroofed/re-decked in 2011, newer stainless steel appliances in kitchen.
