Offering 5 bedrooms, 2 full and 1 half baths, over 2,500 square feet of finished living space, and a detached 2-car garage, this home combines timeless character with thoughtful updates throughout. Step inside to discover warm hardwood floors, inviting living spaces, and a beautifully updated kitchen featuring 42-inch cabinetry, wood countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an electric cooktop. The spacious living room is highlighted by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while the adjoining sunroom provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind while overlooking the spectacular backyard.
