About this home
From the moment you pull up, the welcoming front porch sets the tone for what's waiting inside. Step through the door and you'll find a home that has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the charm that makes older homes so special. Original woodwork, beautiful trim details, and a classic fireplace create warmth and personality that simply can't be replicated in newer construction.
The main level offers a comfortable and functional layout with a spacious living room, dedicated dining room, updated kitchen, first-floor bedroom, and a beautifully renovated full bathroom. The kitchen blends style and practicality with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern finishes throughout.
Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and the convenience of an upper-level laundry room. The oversized primary bedroom provides plenty of space to spread out, while the flexible layout offers room for family, guests, a home office, or hobbies.
Outside, the covered front porch feels like an extension of the home itself—a place for morning coffee, evening conversations, and everything in between. The backyard offers plenty of usable green space, while the detached garage and expanded parking area add everyday convenience.
Updates include: new trex front porch, new rear patio, new driveway, new siding, new roof, new furnace, and new hot water tank.
With over 1,400 square feet, two full bathrooms, central air, extensive updates, and a layout that offers flexibility for a variety of lifestyles, this home delivers something many buyers are searching for but struggle to find: modern updates without sacrificing character. Move-in ready and full of charm, this is the kind of home that simply feels right the moment you walk through the door....
