About This Home

As of May 2026

Pictures are coming. Here is a rare one. It feels like living in the country with over 1 acre but with in town convenience only a few blocks to schools. This home has an open floor plan with vaulted ceiling and fireplace in the living room and dining room. There are 3 bedrooms with ceiling fans and 2 1/2 baths on the main floor. The primary bedroom has private bath with whirlpool tub, separate shower and double vanity. The finished basement adds even more living space with a 2nd fireplace, bar, big rec room and bathroom. Laundry is on the main floor. In addition to the 3 car attached garage there are 2 sheds for bikes or garden tools. There is a deck, patio and firepit in the big backyard that backs up to woods.
