Step into this charming, sun filled home where warm natural light pours through every room. Enjoy the beauty of original hardwood floors and the brand newer windows throughout, complete with its own thermostat for year round comfort.

The oversized garage opens the door to possibility: a future workshop, creative studio, or additional gathering space, complete with built-in wall storage. The basement includes a half bath with the potential to convert to a full bath, offering instant value & added opportunity. Upstairs, the attic reveals the solid bones of this home and is ready to be transformed into a fully finished second level.
