About this home

This storybook home blends timeless charm with fresh, thoughtful updates. Step inside to hardwood floors that set the tone for the warm, inviting spaces throughout. Nearly everything has been refreshed: new carpet, fresh paint, and a newly added first-floor bathroom and laundry. The kitchen features new appliances, new solid-surface countertops, and updated plumbing. Upstairs, a full bathroom is shared between 2 bedrooms. Practical improvements give peace of mind: a new roof (Sept 24), new gutters with gutter guards, a rebuilt front porch, and new landscaping designed to direct rain and sump pump water away from the home. The basement has been professionally repaired, waterproofed, sealed, and painted. Charming, solid, and move-in ready - this is the kind of home that feels cared for from top to bottom.
