Welcome to this adorable ranch-style home that blends classic charm with modern convenience. Located just blocks from downtown and within walking distance to Sandy Knoll Elementary, this home offers the best of both worlds—urban access and a quiet, community vibe. Step inside and be greeted by lots of natural light and beautiful hardwood floors that flow throughout most of the first floor. The main floor has two spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom, while an additional upstairs bedroom offers flexible living space—perfect for guests, a home office, or a private retreat. Enjoy year-round comfort with Central A/C, vinyl windows, and vinyl siding for low-maintenance living. Step out onto the 16’x13’ back deck—the perfect spot for morning coffee or weekend barbecues—overlooking a big, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for pets, gardening, or play. The attached one-car garage adds convenience, and the walk-out unfinished basement provides ample clean storage with potential for future finishing to add even more living space, including existing plumbing for a second bathroom. You'll appreciate the paved driveway, which offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles during the winter months. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or looking to downsize without compromising location, this home offers exceptional value and charm. * All offers due by 1pm on Thursday May 8th *

Great location, walking distance to Sandy Knoll Elementary School, Harlow Park and many downtown businesses.

This home is not for Rent. if you are reading this on Craiglist it is a scam and please do not send anyone money. The first floor has two nice sized bedrooms and an updated full bathroom with a lovely tiled shower. The second story as one large bedroom or could be used for an office or guest room. The walk out basement has lots of potential for refinishing or just used as storage or a wood shop/craft area. You'll appreciate the one car garage in the winters.
