About This Home
Exceptionally well-maintained home with charming features throughout!
The covered front porch offers peaceful breezes and beautiful sunset views. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors (some carpeted for comfort), newer tilt-in windows, ceiling fans, and central air. The first floor includes two bedrooms—one currently used as a dining room—and a full bath with a tub and Corian surround. The second floor offers two additional bedrooms.
The finished lower level has a great room, featuring a dry bar, walk-out access through French doors to a patio, a full bath with stall shower and vanity, plus ample storage and a workshop area.
Out back, a spacious shed with vinyl siding and a fenced in yard. Sale is contingent on the owners finding their next home.
