About This Home

As of April 2025

This spacious home offers comfortable living with a bonus space for extra income or personal use! The main level features a tiled entryway, a convenient washer and dryer, and a primary bedroom. The kitchen is well-equipped with electric stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave, while the living room showcases a beautiful stone-front fireplace. The upper level features two bedrooms with hardwood floors and a bath. The lower level expands the living space with a second electric fireplace, a walk-out to the backyard, two non-conforming bedrooms, and a full bath. Outdoor living is just as impressive, featuring a brick patio with a firepit, a small covered deck, and a fenced storage area for tools and equipment. A separate building, formerly a garage, offers incredible potential—whether as a mother-in-law suite, daycare, home business, or rental. It includes a kitchen, heat and A/C, a carpeted bedroom, a bath, and a laundry area with stackable units. This property is a must-see for those seeking versatility and space!
