Meticulously maintained and lovingly cared for by the same owners for more than 50 years, this move-in ready gem is filled with character, quality, and pride of ownership. Originally relocated to its nearly half-acre lot in 1974, the home was placed on a poured concrete foundation, offering the perfect blend of timeless charm and lasting construction. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room and a formal dining room featuring beautiful original corner hutches. The cozy kitchen offers an abundance of recently refaced cabinetry, including a wall of pantry cabinets, plus a convenient removable breakfast table. Gorgeous hardwood floors have been professionally refinished, with additional hardwood flooring waiting beneath the carpet on both the main and upper levels. Two bedrooms, with one currently serving as a home office and updated full bath completes the main floor. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms, a convenient half bath, and an impressive amount of storage space. The lower level features a family room and office/craft room, along with an updated three-quarter bath showcasing a large tiled shower, a laundry area, and plenty of additional storage. Outside, you'll appreciate the insulated oversized attached two-car garage, beautifully landscaped front yard with a welcoming paver patio, and a spacious backyard highlighted by an extensive flower garden and secluded patio. A charming storage shed—originally built as a playhouse—adds both character and functionality. Additional updates include durable steel siding, gutter guards, newer shingles, newer windows throughout, new furnace (2025), and new water heater (2026). This exceptional home offers classic craftsmanship, thoughtful updates, and abundant storage—all ready for its next owners to move in and enjoy.
