Offering 1,500 square feet of light-filled living space, this home combines classic comfort with thoughtful modern updates.

A beautiful and spacious front porch welcomes you with charm and curb appeal, setting the tone for the warm and inviting interior.

Additional highlights include new flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, recessed lighting, dual-pane windows, and a two-car garage with built-in storage. Mature landscaping in both front and back yards provides a lush backdrop to this warm and welcoming home.
