    What's special

    Welcome to this beautifully renovated, early 1900s two-story+ attic, blends vintage charm with modern updates. The home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a main floor half bath, with laundry on the second floor and a finished attic perfect for playroom, an office or extra living space! Nearly everything is new; high end LVP flooring on the main level, carpet upstairs and in the attic, fresh paint, and every light fixture replaced (except attic/basement/garage). Bathrooms shine with all new showers/tubs, vanities, faucets, and toilets - including a primary ensuite. The kitchen is brand new with GE appliances, quartz counters, custom cabinetry, under cabinet lighting and HUGE island. Off the kitchen, there is a 'bonus' space that will be perfect for an office, pantry/ mudroom, play room, etc! There are new interior doors, hardware, deck and added landscaping and new wood fence complete the refresh. The oversized 2-car garage (new roof 12/25) with bonus space offers storage or workshop potential. This move-in-ready gem perfectly pairs historic charm with modern comfort. Ask your agent for a full list of updates and improvements, or call/ text me for a list!
