Description
This home in West Oak Lane is a great blend of classic architectural bones and modern functionality, especially with that "straight-through" layout that maximizes light and airflow. ​Interior Charm & Layout ​Straight-Through Design: This floor plan is highly efficient, allowing you to walk from the front living room through the dining area and straight into the kitchen. While the home currently features wall-to-wall carpeting, the presence of original hardwood floors beneath is a major value-add. This offers a "hidden gem" for future restoration. ​Living & Formal Dining: The separation of a dedicated living room and a formal dining room makes the home feel more substantial and traditional, perfect for hosting sit-down meals. ​Kitchen & Bedrooms: The kitchen leads naturally from the dining area. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are served by a central hall bath, a layout that prioritizes privacy for the sleeping quarters. ​Security & Utility ​Security Front Door: This provides an immediate sense of safety and peace of mind, a practical feature for urban living. ​Full Basement: This basement has plenty of opportunies for that creative spirit . It essentially doubles your usable living space—ideal for a media room, home office, or a gym. ​One-Car Garage: Having off-street parking in West Oak Lane is a premium convenience, protecting your vehicle and adding storage. ​​Immediate Occupancy: The home is "turn-key" and ready for move-in, meaning no major renovations are required before you settle in. ​Proximity to Schools & Shopping: Being centrally located saves time on daily errands and commutes for families. ​Dining & Entertainment: West Oak Lane's food scene has exploded .You are likely near Great Restaurants for a plesurable experince. ​Great property, Great Opportunity Grant Assistance available !

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
