About This Home

As of March 2023

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME. This solidly built house enchants the moment you step through the door into a combination dining/sitting room with a brick fireplace adding that extra bit of magic. Hardwood floors throughout. The primary bedroom has two closets and fits a king bed easily. A graceful stairway leads to a light-flooded second bedroom or possible office space. A built-in nook and skylights make this room a delightful place to spend time. Step down into a large family room with a tray ceiling and plenty of room for big gatherings. Sliding glass doors lead to a brick patio with built-in brick fireplace and a large fenced in yard, extending your living space much of the year. The kitchen is cheerful and efficient and the basement already has wall studs, ready for finishing. Attached two car garage has two separate one car doors. Fresh neutral paint makes this appealing home move-in ready!!
