Nestled in the charm of Maeystown, this well-maintained 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home offers a unique and functional layout with thoughtful updates throughout! Entry from the front door brings you into the lower level, creating a practical drop zone before heading upstairs to the main living area where all primary living spaces are located.
The upper level features a recently updated kitchen equipped with an electric cooktop, double wall oven, and appliances that stay, including the washer and dryer. The living and dining areas are spacious and inviting, ideal for everyday living or entertaining. Step out back to enjoy the covered deck, perfect for relaxing and taking in the peaceful surroundings.
This home is packed with valuable mechanical upgrades and conveniences, including a whole-home generator, boiler heat that is not very old, a sump pump with battery backup, and a Culligan water softener. The one-car attached garage is heated and offers generous workspace complete with a workbench, making it ideal for projects or hobbies.
The roof has been well cared for, with part of it being metal that was recently inspected and painted, and the remaining portion also recently inspected and in good condition. A leased propane tank through Pinnacle services the home.
With solid systems, smart updates, and a scenic Maeystown setting, this home offers comfort, reliability, and character in a truly special location!
