About This Home

As of June 2025

Incredibly well cared for home with all the classic details still intact but completely updated!

With over 2200 finished sqft, 3 br, 3 ba, large eat-in kitchen, formal dining, and multiple gathering spaces, you will not be cramped for space. If you need accessibility, the main floor will meet your needs with ramps, wider doors, and a hospital grade accessible bathroom.

The garage will surprise you as well with room for 5 cars, pull thru capabilities and room for all of your storage needs, hobbies, or toys. You really need to see this one to appreciate all it has to offer. All information obtained from seller and public records.
