Start your mornings with the sunlight pouring into the modern updated kitchen through east-facing windows, reflecting off the counters and floors at the start of the day and lighting up the back bedroom in the early afternoon. At the end of the day enjoy an evening drink on the bench out-front or enjoy the warm glow of the west-facing windows in the primary bedroom and living room complete with fireplace for that warmth and coziness in the winter months. Head upstairs for two spacious bedrooms and updated hall bathroom. This home has been beautifully maintained with updated Pex Plumbing system, was full repainted in Spring of 2025.
