Adding warmth and ambiance, the cozy wood stove, installed in 2022, enhances the inviting atmosphere.

Perfectly positioned just a short stroll from the town’s main shopping center (and Jimmy Cone!), this exceptional property delivers modern upgrades, abundant space, and peaceful surroundings—a rare combination for an unparalleled living experience.Note: Home was professionally measured at 1498 square feet of living space. It was entered at 1500 estimated to allow for human error and ensure it would not be missed on searches for homes 1500+ SF.OFFER DEADLINE: Please have all offers in by Monday May 5 at 2:00 PM.
