About This Home

Charming Home with Character, Updates and classic Architectural Detail! Welcome to this charming three-bedroom, one and a half bath residence offering a wonderful blend of classic character and important modern updates. Hardwood floors run throughout most of the home, complemented by ceramic tile in the kitchen and vinyl flooring in both bathrooms. The large Living Room is a true focal point, featuring a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, creating a warm and comfortable space for relaxing or entertaining. The bay window adds natural light and appeal. The main floor bedroom provides flexibility for guests, a home office, or those looking for first floor living. A separate dining room offers a dedicated space for family celebrations and gatherings, while the kitchen features nice cabinetry, functional work space and room for a table. The second floor has 2 large bedrooms, ample closet space and full bath. Also included is a full basement. For peace of mind the roof is newer, water heater replaced in 2023, furnace and central air in 2025. The home has been freshly painted and professionally cleaned, making it truly move in ready.
