Set into a hillside with a unique layout and an impressive amount of usable space, this 3-bedroom home offers flexibility both inside and out. The raised main living level features hardwood floors in the living room, a convenient laundry room, an enclosed balcony-style porch and three bedrooms, with one currently serving as the dining room. A ramp from the driveway provides access around the home to the backyard and rear entrance.The finished lower level has its own direct entrance from the driveway, opening into a den and continuing to a bar/entertaining room and half bath—creating great potential for a game room, hobby space, home office or additional hangout area. The unfinished portion houses the utilities and can also be accessed directly from the attached garage.But the real bonus may be outside! A separate insulated woodworking workshop is equipped with 220V electrical service plus heat and air conditioning, providing year-round space for woodworking, projects, equipment or serious hobbies.The home has 200-amp electrical service, solar panels with a current monthly payment of approximately $111, oil-fired heat on the main level and propane heat in the basement. The boiler received a new pump in 2026, the water heater received a new element in 2025, and the roof is approximately 7 years old. A pellet stove is also available but is not currently connected.Adding even more value, the generator, snowblower and extra refrigerator will remain for the new owners. If you've been looking for a home with more than the typical cookie-cutter layout—and space to work, create, entertain and make your own—55 Park Ave deserves a look.
