About This Home

As of June 2025

Located on a corner lot in town, not far from the high school, is this adorable 2 (could be 3) bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1.5 story home. Some of the outstanding features this property boasts include newer luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, granite countertops, newer cabinets, newer appliances and hot water heater, and much more! Enjoy watching the sun come up while indulging in a hot cup of coffee on your covered front porch. Store all of your extra items/holiday decor/lawnmower/etc in your large outbuilding. The roof and windows are only approximately 11 years old, so seemingly plenty of life still left in them! Take a look at this home and start envisioning yourself living there!
