About This Home

As of February 2026

Step inside this beautifully refreshed 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home and instantly feel the warmth and charm it offers.

Sitting on a half acre lot inside town, you'll enjoy extra space without losing the convenience of being close to everything. The 1 car garage plus large backyard shed (with an upstairs space and electrical) provide plenty of storage for tools, hobbies, or a little extra elbow room. This truly move in ready home strikes the perfect balance of modern updates and timeless character all that's left to do is make it yours.
