Light, bright, and fresh best describe this Highlands farmhouse located within 5-6 minutes from downtown. Built nearly a century ago, this home has been lovingly cared for throughout the years but thanks to a recent renovation, features all of the modern-day conveniences and design attributes a savvy buyer expects in a home. In addition to the built-in refrigerator and dishwasher, the kitchen boasts a professional Thermador gas range and a lovely view overlooking the stone patio. The living area enjoys a generous amount of natural lighting and creates an opportunity to enjoy the property during any season. Once outside, there is no shortage of usable yard space, sunshine and beautiful floral gardens plus multiple areas have been dedicated with rest and relaxation in mind. A true retreat experience! Also conveniently located near the popular Whiteside Mountain hiking trail, the hospital and the trash/recycling center. Home is being sold furnished with a few exceptions. This is a great find! Call or text for more details.
