About This Home

As of December 2025

So much potential in this lovely 3 bedroom home with a 2 car detached garage. It has good bones and with a little bit of updating will make a great home for your family. Upon entering, there's a very nice enclosed 3 season porch to enjoy any time of day. The cabinet filled kitchen offers a breakfast nook, a stainless dishwasher, and space for an island if desired. If you love having family dinners there's also the formal dining room where you'll enjoy the bay window and its diamond muntins. And there's room for everyone in the 15x21 living room. All 3 bedrooms and bath are upstairs and have tilt in windows. Note the cedar closet in the hall. There's also a mudroom at the back where the washer/dryer could possibly be placed. Roof is approximately 15 years old, AC condenser 4 years old, toilet, tub faucet, and kitchen faucet are all newer. There is a dusk to dawn light near the garage. Take a look at it today before it's gone.
