About This Home

As of July 2025

Cozy, welcoming, and packed with improvements, this well-maintained home offers ultimate functionality and quiet living for its new owner(s) on approximately one acre. Low-maintenance brick and vinyl exterior. Updated windows, flooring, light fixtures, and blinds throughout. Kitchen features granite countertops, Astro brick floors, stainless steel appliances (to remain), breakfast bar and a dining room. Sizable family room with vaulted ceilings adjoins a heated & cooled sunroom space with access to the concrete patio. Primary bedroom has a dreamy walk-in closet. Renovated primary bathroom features granite countertops, an ample-sized dressing area and a large shower. There are two additional bedrooms and an updated, hall bathroom with tub/shower combo. The utility room provides a supplemental mud-room space upon entry off the driveway. Whole house generator is a major plus! The double carport and detached 24’ by 24’ garage are wired and will be the perfect extra space for hobbies and carpenters alike, while providing abundant storage as well. There is a separate detached shed and lean-to area for lawn equipment. The vast, level backyard is fenced and will easily become a haven of retreat with a little TLC or the perfect domain for outdoor play. This home is delightful in every aspect and will not last long.
