FLOYD STREET HOME
This comfortable home is in a most desirable section of Floyd Street.
It was completely modernized about four years ago. Here you will find
the charm of yesterday combined with the convenience of today. The modern
kitchen is large enough for a table and chairs as well as a snack-bar.
Opening off the kitchen is a large family or TV room. The dignified living
room suggests more formal occasions. There are four large bedrooms and
two baths. One of the bedrooms has been panelled in pine and can be
used as an office or den. The lot is ample in size, the garden attractive,
and there are two car-ports.
This is a delightful home for a family with several children, or it can
easily be converted into two apartments. And you will agree that the price
of the property is most reasonable. Call us for details.
