About This Home

As of May 2025

Charming 2.5-Story Brick Beauty with Character, Space & Curb Appeal! Welcome to this captivating 2.5-story brick home that perfectly blends timeless charm with modern comforts. From the moment you arrive, you'll be enchanted by the lush landscaping, vibrant flowering bushes that attract butterflies, and the calming scents of lavender and mint. A welcoming covered front porch with a classic wooden swing sets the scene-perfectly situated across from the school and playground. Located in the heart of town, you'll enjoy front-row access to the community's beloved annual Fourth of July celebrations and be just a short walk from local restaurants, shopping, and more. Step inside to an open and inviting layout with gleaming hardwood floors that flow through the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, a spacious island, deep stainless steel sink, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances-all included. A large pantry, main-level laundry room (washer and dryer included), and a full bathroom with beautiful tile finishes offer both comfort and convenience. Up the gorgeous wooden staircase, you'll pass a stained-glass window that adds a unique touch of charm. The second floor offers a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and hardwood floors, two additional carpeted bedrooms, and another full bath with tile surround, tile flooring, and a bidet. A spiral staircase leads to the third-floor bonus room-a generously sized space filled with natural light, perfect as a fourth bedroom, home office, playroom, or studio. From the front door, you can see straight through to the backyard, where a large sliding glass door off the kitchen opens to a huge wooden deck-ideal for entertaining. The fenced-in backyard features a cozy fire pit and ample space for outdoor fun. One of the standout features of this property is the oversized 2.5-car detached garage with a spacious loft above-perfect for storage, a workshop, or future finishing. The long driveway provides additional parking for up to four vehicles, making hosting guests or housing multiple cars a breeze. Major system updates include a brand-new roof (2024), newer A/C units, furnace, and water heater-giving you peace of mind for years to come. This home is full of character, functionality, and charm-just waiting for you to make it your own!
