Public Remarks: Cute as a button and packed with charm! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers easy one-level living with everything conveniently located on the first floor. One of the standout features is the gorgeous sunroom--the perfect spot for morning coffee, relaxing with a book, or enjoying views of the huge backyard. Outside, you'll also find a detached 1-car garage with a bonus loft area, offering great additional storage. Even better, several of the big-ticket items have already been taken care of! The home features a brand-new septic system, a newly poured concrete driveway, newer siding, and a roof and furnace that are both only approximately 6 years old. Sitting on a slab with a spacious yard and plenty of room to make it your own, this sweet home combines simplicity, charm, and some seriously valuable updates.

R-CVS
Residential Conventional Subdivision District
The intent of the Residential Conventional Subdivision District is to provide opportunities for a range of single-family lot sizes. The defined character may vary by neighborhood, but new developments should reflect the scale of adjacent neighborhoods. Conventional subdivisions should have walkable, well-connected street systems that connect to adjacent neighborhoods and destinations. Supporting non-residential uses, such as parks, schools, and places of worship, may also be appropriate.
