Don’t let this one be the one that got away. From the moment you step inside 55 Akin St, you’ll understand why. This is a home with presence, the kind of character and craftsmanship that reveals itself room by room. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout, dentil molding adds architectural distinction, and not one, but THREE sunporches, create wonderful spaces to sit, read, entertain, or simply enjoy the changing seasons. With 4 bedrooms and generously proportioned living spaces, the home feels grand yet remarkably warm and inviting. Everywhere you look, there’s another detail to appreciate and another reason to linger. And just when you think you’ve seen everything, there’s more: the property is being sold with an additional rear parcel, offering an extraordinary amount of outdoor space and intriguing possibilities for the future build of 1-2 lots. Character. Space. History. Land. This isn't simply a house to see, it’s one to experience. And it may just be the one you don't want to let get away. Buyer/Buyer’s Agent to perform due diligence regarding potential uses/buildability of the additional parcel.
