About This Home
As of August 2025Character, charm, and cute as pie! So much cute, you'll ooh and ahh through the whole house. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel how warm, lived-in, and loved this home is. The living room is bright and welcoming with tons of natural light, a wood-burning fireplace with updated tile, coved ceilings, and original hardwood floors that flow into the spacious formal dining room. Just off the dining space, you'll find a sweet little 3-season porch that’s begging for a comfy chair and a good book, or it could double as a playroom, plant room, or your morning coffee oasis. The kitchen features natural wood cabinets, a bright white tile backsplash, new appliances, a brass pot rack, and a professional hood fan. Clean, functional, and full of charm. On the main floor, you'll find two bedrooms and an updated full bath with a fun pop of floral wallpaper. There's also a bonus half bath in the front bedroom and main floor laundry for convenience. Upstairs, a spacious third bedroom with a large closet offers even more flexibility. The lower level has a second living space that's perfect for movie nights, a home gym, or a play area, with plenty of storage and room to finish more if you'd like. There’s also an additional laundry hookup downstairs if preferred. Outside, this home sits on a roomy corner lot and features sleek black siding, a steel roof, a detached garage, and a carport. Just a few blocks from Lowell Elementary, with easy access to downtown restaurants, and tucked into a sweet neighborhood, this one is truly move-in ready. Let’s go take a look at this adorable house!
