About This Home

Welcome to a home brimming with original character and ample space for everyone! The main floor invites you in with a sitting room featuring a wall of bookcases perfect for a home library. The kitchen is complete with a breakfast bar, dining area and all appliances including an induction stove. Just off the kitchen, a versatile bonus room offers an ideal space for a children's play room, while the entry porch serves as a practical mud room. The main level also includes a cozy family room with a corner built-in, a full bath, and an additional room perfect for a home office. Step outside to a mostly fenced backyard with beautifully landscaped areas. Upstairs, you will find three generously sized bedrooms, each boasting a walk-in closet, along with a second full bath. The current owner has lovingly researched the home's rich history, preserving a picture of the property from its original days as a cherry farm, as well as photos of the original owners. Some of the furniture may be virtually staged, no alterations or changes to the home!

Real Estate sales and service. After working retail I went to working Marketing and Membership with a Chamber of Commerce helping business grow and build. I have always been in some customer service role. When I started working in real estate I said I didn't want to be bored, they laughed, little did I know then. I've relocated multiple times in my life, across 3 different states and several times within those states so I've always had a desire and joy in helping people new to the area as well.
