About This Home

As of May 2026

This little home packs a big punch with all the upgrades and features tucked inside. The open-concept layout makes great use of the space, giving you a surprisingly comfortable and efficient place to live. You'll find a cozy sleeping loft, a flexible office area, an updated kitchen, and plenty of shelving to keep things organized. Easy, low-maintenance living comes with the compact footprint, plus there's a shed for extra storage. Mature trees behind the property add a nice sense of privacy and a peaceful backdrop. A great spot for simple, minimalist living or a cozy personal retreat. As the owner-occupant of 7 years states: 'This home lives bigger than it looks and is very comfortable in spite of the size.'
