Tucked away on a quiet street, this well cared for home combines thoughtful updates with unique character. Inside, you'll find two main floor bedrooms, including a spacious primary plus a flexible partially finished room in the basement that can serve as a third bedroom, office, or hobby space. There are two full bathrooms, one of which was just remodeled in 2023. The main floor features a bright kitchen (completely redone in 2024 with countertops, backsplash, plumbing and appliances), main floor laundry, a gas fireplace, and a cozy screened in porch perfect for relaxing. A quirky spiral staircase adds charm, & the basement also has exterior access for easy in & out. Outside, enjoy a two car attached garage as well as a lean to shed with electric. Some major updates give peace of mind: the home was gutted to the studs in 2014, central air was added, roof was replaced in 2023, gutters/soffit/fascia were recently updated with a lifetime warranty, and the flooring and subflooring throughout are newer. Move-in ready and full of character, this home offers comfort and convenience in a great location!
