Welcome to this charming and well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath Craftsman-style home! With its custom wood floors, 12-inch trim, large windows that let in abundant natural light, and high ceilings, this home radiates warmth and character. Nearly every window has been replaced, and fresh insulation was added to the attic in 2023, ensuring a cozy and energy-efficient space during winter months. Speaking of the attic, it's a hidden gem-unfinished but ready for transformation into a retreat or stunning master bedroom with just a touch of drywall. Enjoy your morning coffee on the serene front sun porch, or step out onto the newly stained back porch to take in the peaceful neighborhood. The home has been lovingly updated, featuring a new refrigerator (2021), a sleek kitchen sink with a spray faucet, and a washer/dryer set from 2024. Major upgrades include a new furnace (2020), water heater (2022), a fully remodeled bathroom (2023), a privacy fence (2021), and updated electrical panels (2024). New storm doors were also installed in 2025, enhancing the home's functionality and appeal. Best of all, this home is perfectly located close to Miller Park and the beloved Gene's Ice Cream-a favorite spot for the owners. This is more than a house; it's a cozy haven filled with charm and modern conveniences, ready to welcome its next lucky owners. All offers will be reviewed Saturday March 29 at 5:00 pm.
