About this home

Charming cottage-style home on a private cul-de-sac with a spacious ½-acre lot! This beautifully maintained home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Featuring a detached garage with workshop space, concrete driveway, vinyl siding, thermal windows, and a large fenced backyard with a deck off the sunroom make this property truly special. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, solid wood doors, crown molding, custom built-in bookcases, and a cozy family room featuring a raised brick hearth and gas fireplace. The updated kitchen showcases new cabinetry, butcher block countertops, tile backsplash (2020), and Samsung Bespoke smart appliances (2024). The main-level primary bedroom offers convenient one-level living, while the large sunroom provides year-round enjoyment with its own HVAC, propane heater, and new carpet. Upstairs are four additional generously sized bedrooms and two baths. Recent improvements include HVAC (2021), Ecobee smart thermostat (2021), GE washer and dryer (2024), ceiling fans (2024), privacy fence (2025), new carpet in the primary bedroom and sunroom (2025), attic insulation (2026), front and storm doors (2026), and 10-year smoke/CO detectors (2026). The roof was replaced in 2009 with a 35-year warranty. With abundant storage, classic craftsmanship, and an exceptional list of updates, this move-in-ready home is one you won't want to miss!
