This is the house you have been waiting for. .. Move in ready, with a beautiful large and open living / kitchen/ dining combo. The pictures are good, the house is great! We start off with amazing curb appeal and a darling front porch. The home has been meticulously cared for and that shows the moment you pull up. BTW the neighborhood is fantastic, lots of pride of ownership and folks updating generational homes. The bathroom has also been wonderfully updated and is completely charming. I love the natural and beautiful hardwood floors throughout! The second bedroom has been used as a laundry and dressing room, the seller will leave it like that or cap it off. Both photos of that room reflect this. The garage is huge and has electricity, a 220 line and a side entry complementing the oversized automated garage door - perfect for doing garage things. New and beautiful driveway and cement patio are large and sweet. This home comes fully fenced allowing for privacy. The home currently has some plants and electric equipment that will be removed prior to close. None of the in-home garden plants or growing equipment conveys at close; the additional mini-split and generator also will not convey. See the list of exclusions. The seller is motivated bring your best offer.

R1
One-Family Dwelling District
The regulations of the R-1 one family residential districts are intended to encourage a suitable environment for families typically with children. To this end, uses are limited to one family dwelling unit structures and certain compatible uses that create a neighborhood environment. In keeping with the intent, development is restricted to a moderately low density. While the uses permitted in the residential districts, the dimensional standards vary between the districts to provide a range of one-family living environments within the City. Commercial and other uses that tend to be incompatible with the intent of the one family residential districts are prohibited.
