Here’s your chance to own a charming 1.5-story home in an established neighborhood—why rent when you can invest in yourself and build equity? This move-in-ready home is perfectly located within walking distance to the beloved Simon’s Restaurant and offers a great blend of charm and function. The main level features a spacious great room with beautiful hardwood floors, a galley kitchen with ample cabinetry, two generous bedrooms, and a full bath. Upstairs, you’ll find a versatile space ideal for a third bedroom with a large walk-in closet. The partially finished basement offers even more living space with a cozy family room—perfect for a game-day hangout or man cave—a non-conforming 4th bedroom, and plenty of storage. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard with a shaded patio perfect for grilling and relaxing. The oversized 2-car detached garage provides secure parking and extra storage. A great value with room to grow—don’t miss it!
