Plenty of sunshine and plenty of character in this unusually comfortable city antique. Two gas fireplaces, two outstandingly attractive, upscaled bathrooms, first floor laundry, double staircases, pine floors, and a walk-up attic for excellent storage. This home features updated utilities (electrical system, heating plant and hot water tank), plus a very private and roomy brick patio and that New England treasure, a real mudroom! Located in the North End of the city, this property in the midst of a very walkable neighborhood with easy access to downtown restaurants, shops, theaters and to the fabulous Merrimack River waterfront and the four-mile Clipper City Trail. Pine floors, cheery colors, bay windowed dining room, custom trim and cabinetry - all these features and more make a fine home!
