About This Home
As of November 2025WELCOME HOME TO A PLACE WHERE CARE, COMFORT, AND COUNTLESS UPDATES COME TOGETHER! This meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 2.1-bath home is ready for you to begin your next chapter. Thoughtfully designed and lovingly cared for, it offers both modern updates and timeless charm. Step into the welcoming foyer, complete with a closet and lovely glass pocket doors that open to the living room. The heart of the home is the spacious eat-in kitchen, beautifully redone with newer cabinetry, granite counters, tiled backsplash, pantry cabinet, and appliances-perfect for creating meals and memories alike. Upstairs, the primary suite features its own updated bath with shower, while two additional bedrooms and a full hallway bath with tub/shower provide comfort and convenience for family or guests. A hallway linen closet adds extra storage right where you need it. On the lower level, enjoy the warmth of the brick gas log fireplace in the family room, plus a 4th bedroom, half bath, and laundry/utility room. There's also a full storage area for all the extras. Step outside and unwind-whether it's a quiet moment on the front porch, a gathering on the 14' x 16' concrete patio, or enjoying the fenced-in backyard with a raised garden bed and shed. With room to entertain, play, garden, or simply relax, the outdoor space is as versatile as it is inviting. A two-car attached garage with 7' doors and concrete driveway completes the picture. This home has been extensively updated for peace of mind and modern living: newer windows, sliding glass door, roof, furnace, A/C, water heaters, sump pump, washer and dryer, and a remodeled kitchen and master bath, just to name a few. Every detail reflects the pride and love of its current owners. Beautifully landscaped, thoughtfully updated, and perfectly located near schools, parks, and downtown. THIS IS MORE THAN A HOUSE, IT'S A HOME READY TO WELCOME YOU!
