About This Home
As of August 2025This beautifully maintained home offers the perfect blend of charm and modern updates. The enclosed front porch is both inviting and functional—a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Step inside to a spacious living area that flows seamlessly into the updated eat-in kitchen, featuring white cabinetry, a glass tile backsplash, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances (all included). Two main-level bedrooms are separated by a stylishly updated full bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find a large third bedroom complete with a walk-in closet. The dry basement adds even more living space with a laundry area, generous storage, and plenty of room for a home gym, rec room, or additional lounge area. Outside, the fully fenced yard with low-maintenance vinyl fencing includes a spacious patio—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Love fresh eggs? The chicken coop stays! Major system updates include a new sewer line and a radon mitigation system, both installed in 2022. This move in ready home is a must see! Choice Home Warranty included!!
