About This Home

As of September 2025

This charming opportunity is ready for occupancy, or to be reimagined, and features beautiful hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, garage, and recently replaced roof, set on a generous 0.19 acre lot with underground utilities that may have ADU potential.
