Welcome to 112 Barbara Avenue, a home with a story, a whole lot of heart, and more than 65 years of memories within its walls.Built in 1960 and lovingly held by the same family ever since, this Midway Park home has been thoughtfully cared for through generations while receiving extensive updates that bring modern comfort to all of its original charm and character.Situated on an incredible acre lot, the property offers space that is increasingly hard to find. Beautiful landscaping surrounds the home, while a fire pit area complete with Adirondack chairs creates the perfect place for evenings outside.
