Fall in love with a front porch people dream of! Inside you'll find the formal living room, adorned with an updated fireplace & beautiful hardwood floors. Adjacent to the living room is a versatile sunroom, currently utilized as a home office. The kitchen which was remodeled in 2013 boasts an eclectic charm, featuring stainless-steel appliances, butcher block countertops, and a paneled ceiling that adds a touch of whimsy to the space. Enjoy a spacious dining room with plenty of space for hosting and entertaining. Completing the main floor are a convenient half bathroom & practical mudroom.

A renovated full bathroom is on this level. At the top of the stairs, a bonus room awaits, ready to transform into a cozy library, playroom, or simply provide valuable storage space. Outside, the backyard offers low maintenance living with its expansive brick patio. A detached two-car garage provides ample space for your vehicles, while a shed offers convenient storage for all your outdoor tools and equipment.
