Enjoy easy, one-level living on .49 flat, usable acres. This move-in-ready home offers comfort, character, and a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Major systems have already been updated for added peace of mind, including a new roof in 2025 and HVAC replacement in 2022. Pre-paid maintenance services for HVAC, gas, pest control, and more are also included.
Tucked into a quiet neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home features 9-foot ceilings, heart-of-pine details, pristine original hardwood floors, and three gas fireplaces that add warmth and charm. The covered back deck overlooks a beautifully maintained yard, while a two-car carport and two storage sheds provide plenty of practical space.
Classic character, thoughtful updates, and inviting curb appeal make this one worth seeing in person.
