About this home
Welcome home to this rare one-owner property, lovingly cared for over 60 years and in incredible condition. With more than 1,500 sq ft of finished space, this home blends timeless quality with thoughtful updates. The kitchen showcases oak cabinetry, stainless appliances, and plenty of counter space. The four-seasons room with a gas fireplace and brick surround offers a cozy retreat year-round, while hardwood floors lie beneath the carpet, ready to be uncovered. Pella windows bring natural light throughout. Originally designed with three bedrooms, two were combined into one large suite but can easily be converted back and share the full bath. Laundry hookups are available on both the main and lower level. The finished lower level expands your living options with a non-conforming bedroom and 3/4 bath. Practical updates include central vacuum, HVAC less than 10 years old, and new vinyl siding, roof, and gutters in 2022. Outside, you’ll love the beautifully landscaped yard, a detached 2-car garage, and an attached 3-seasons porch that makes the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your surroundings. Nestled on a quiet street, this home is within walking distance to the library and aquatic center, and just minutes from Fleur Cinema, Skip’s, and Gray’s Lake. With its unbeatable location, meticulous care, and move-in ready updates, this home is truly a special find.
