About This Home

As of May 2026

Let this three bedroom with two full bathrooms home welcome you with its alluring charm. The high ceilings and bright white walls make this home feel elegant. The master bedroom has a walk in closet and master bathroom complete with a huge shower. Don't need two extra bedrooms, then one could be your office space complete with a closet for storage. Dining room is just the right size for a dining room table to accompany your family and friends. There is an attic with permanent stairs that could be turned into a play room, man cave or game room. The two car detached garage has plenty of space but if you find yourself needing more than a small shed sits beside the garage with storage area or a workshop area. The spacious back yard offers plenty of room for the family to enjoy and pets to run. Call me today for a showing!
