About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to this delightful 3-bedroom, 1-bath gem that perfectly blends vintage charm with today's modern comforts! From the moment you step inside, you'll feel the warmth and character of this cozy home, with its inviting atmosphere and timeless features. Not only does this beauty offer spacious rooms and a fantastic layout, but it's also been lovingly updated to suit today's needs. The new roof on both the house and the garage (installed in 2024) ensures peace of mind for years to come, while the high-efficiency tankless water heater (also 2024) means endless hot water without the high utility bills. The washer (2023) and dishwasher (2024) are brand new, so all you have to do is move in and start enjoying the convenience! The backyard is a private retreat with a newly installed privacy fence (2023), perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, you'll find thoughtful updates like the new bathroom vanity (2022), adding a fresh, modern touch to the home's classic charm. And let's not forget about location! Nestled perfectly between two larger cities, you'll enjoy the peace and quiet of suburban living, with the convenience of being just a short drive away from all the amenities and excitement those cities have to offer. This home is truly a special find, offering a perfect mix of character, comfort, and convenience. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to own a home that's ready to welcome you with open arms!
