Charm is around every corner on the first level (think built in cabinets and original woodwork!) and leads you right into the updated kitchen. The beautiful eat-in kitchen features ample cabinet space & updated appliances- perfect for hosting! Follow the gleaming hardwood floors to the upstairs to the perfectly situated 3 bedrooms and full bathroom. Outside find your detached garage & backyard patio (perfect for summer BBQ's!).
