This cozy classic has been lovingly cared for and is ready for its next chapter. Step inside to a bright living room that opens right into the kitchen—perfect for easy living and quick conversations. The real surprise awaits in the generous family room: beautiful wood floors underfoot and a warm gas fireplace that makes every evening feel special. Fresh new paint brightens every corner, with hardwood floors hidden beneath the carpet just waiting to shine again. Major updates give you peace of mind: replacement windows, roof (2014), furnace (2008), AC (2022), garage door spring (2024), storm door (2018), and plenty more. Laundry room leads straight out to a large, fully fenced backyard—great for pets, play, or peaceful mornings. Relax on the welcoming front porch, or slip out to the covered back deck nestled between the 2.5-car garage and handy lawn shed. Your own private spot for starry evenings and quiet nights. This little hideaway is full of heart. Don’t wait—schedule your showing today!

Great location! Seller has lived here for over 40 years and is hoping the next owner will love it as much. 3 bedrooms, 1 bath and larger than it looks! A living room opens to the kitchen, and you will be surprised at the space in the family room offering wood floors and a gas fireplace. Access off the laundry to the large fenced in back yard. When not spending time on the front porch you can enjoy the back covered deck that sits between the 2.5 car garage and your lawn shed. A cozy little hide away to enjoy evening outdoors. Take note that we have HW under the carpet, replacement windows, roof new in 2014, furnace 2008, AC 2022, garage door spring replaced in 2024, storm door 2018 and much more. Hurry and schedule your showing!
