About this home

Three bedroom, two bathroom corner lot home offering a great combination of character and updates! Original woodwork and a pocket door add charm to the family room, while the main level also features a formal dining room, kitchen, main floor bedroom, and full bathroom. Upstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with a walk-in closet plus a second closet. The second full bathroom includes a newer vanity and conveniently located laundry. The full basement provides excellent storage space, and the furnace was replaced in October 2023. Enjoy the 12x30 deck with plenty of shade, along with a two car detached garage and a second outbuilding that could be used as an additional garage, workshop, or storage shed. Additional updates include the roof (2014), replacement windows, and a water heater that is approximately five years old and repainted kitchen and kitchen cabinets with new hardware.
