Super charming 2-bedroom home right in the heart of State Center, where small-town living meets everyday convenience. Just a short walk to schools and downtown, you’ll love being close to everything while still enjoying a cozy, welcoming space to call home. Step inside to find a comfortable main floor layout featuring a bedroom, a flexible bonus room perfect for a home office or hobby space, and the ease of main floor laundry. The home has seen plenty of thoughtful updates, blending character with functionality. Upstairs, a spacious loft-style bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a generously sized closet. Out back is where this property really shines. Imagine relaxing or entertaining on the great back deck, with plenty of space to unwind, grill, or gather with friends. And the true showstopper—the large 3-stall detached garage—gives you all the room you need for vehicles, storage, or projects. This is one that just feels like home the moment you arrive.

Welcome to small town living with many of the same amenities of a larger community. The home is listed as a 2 bedroom but could easily be a 3rd with an extra room on the main level. While you're there, check out the 3 stall heated garage. But you will not have to be out there doing much maintenance on the home. The roof was replaced in 2023 and siding and gutter work in 2021. Come check out everything this great home has to offer!
