Steeped in farmhouse character with modern updates, this home offers the best of both worlds. Shiplap accents, hardwood floors and arched doorways nod to its heritage, while a 2022 kitchen refresh features gleaming granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Three bedrooms and two full baths, including a double-vanity hall bath, provide space for the whole family. A charming barn door hides the pantry, and a dedicated laundry room ensures keeping things tidy is a breeze. The sun-drenched dining room, complete with a bay window, creates the perfect spot for family meals. Newer A/C, double-paned windows, and a home warranty provide peace of mind. Outside, a fenced backyard awaits – ideal for summer barbecues and endless playtime. Home is eligible for USDA 100% financing. This Cartersville gem is ready for you to make lasting memories!
