About This Home
Step into the timeless charm of this beautifully cared-for 1½-story home, situated on a spacious double lot and offering character and warmth throughout. The main level features two bedrooms plus an office that could easily serve as additional living or flex space, along with a bright living room, generous dining room, and hardwood flooring throughout much of the main floor. Two additional bedrooms are located upstairs, providing plenty of room for family, guests, or a home office. A full bathroom with laundry adds convenience, while the lower level includes a ¾ bath and plenty of versatile space for a family room, game area, or relaxing retreat. The inviting enclosed front porch, with windows on three sides, is a wonderful spot to enjoy your morning coffee, read, or simply soak up the natural light. The lower level also offers abundant storage and a built-in workbench. Updates in 2020 include a new furnace and central air along with added insulation at the center roofline. The oversized 1½-car garage provides room for vehicles, outdoor toys, and additional storage. A wonderful combination of character, functional space, and a great lot!
