Well maintained 3 bedroom, 2 full bath single house consists of a quaint exterior that holds a clean interior with lots of updates! During ownership, updates that have been done include: updated kitchen with tiled floor and tiled back splash guard, the installation of an exhaust fan to safely eliminate cooking odors to the outdoors, a rebuilt sun room for extra living space (includes newer hardwood flooring and ceiling fan), and the building of a full bathroom in the basement. Other updates include: fresh paint throughout the whole house, the replacement of all windows with insulated ones, a replaced front door, and a newer high efficiency heater and air conditioning to save you money on gas and electric. The whole house is covered with refurnished hardwood flooring for easy maintenance. Additionally, the living room on the first floor includes a brick fireplace, while the highest (3rd) floor consists of a spacious, finished space that only needs carpeting to be used as an additional bedroom or as a loft. Downstairs, the finished basement is being used as a family room. Outside, the large backyard provides a private space for gardening or other outdoor activities.

Residential Single-Family Detached-3 District
The RSD, Residential Single-Family Detached districts are primarily intended to accommodate detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RSD zoning be applied in areas where the land use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Code includes three RSD districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
