This lovely home features a welcoming covered front porch; open floor plan for entertaining, carpet & tile floors, wood burning fireplace, and six panel wood doors.

The vaulted ceiling and country decor in the great room add to the understated country charm of this home while other upgrades emanate the feeling of an upscale cabin in the woods. Well maintained and in excellent condition. Upgrades and improvements include: New siding & driveway 2007. New roof 2008, New HVAC 2005. Porch painted & re-screened 2014. New water heater 2014.
