Charm and affordability with this 1.5-story home that offers more than meets the eye. Built in 1910, it carries timeless character while offering today’s important updates, including a dimensional shingle roof (tear-off in 2020) and a new furnace (2022). Inside, you’ll find 3–4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with the flexible upper level easily serving as a spacious family room or an additional bedroom to fit your needs. The main level features a bright, eat-in kitchen perfect for gathering, and a spacious living room that offers plenty of room to relax or entertain. Some rooms showcase the wood flooring, adding warmth and charm throughout. A partial unfinished basement provides extra storage and space for a washer and dryer.
Outdoors, enjoy a fenced yard that’s ideal for pets, play, or your own garden retreat. Don’t forget to enjoy the front porch by adding flowers, a swing or a good ole’ rocker. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to own for less than the cost of renting, this home is a wonderful opportunity to put down roots without stretching your budget. All that’s left is to bring your personal touch and make this welcoming house your next home.
