Dutch Colonial Charmer on the Edge of Town This unique barn-style home offers 1 bedroom upstairs and 1 non-conforming bedroom on the main floor, plus 1 full bath—all set on five spacious lots on the edge of town. Recent upgrades include a newer roof on both the house and detached 2-car garage, newer windows, new flooring, and select new appliances. The owner continues remodeling until the home sells, so improvements are ongoing! Enjoy a through driveway, two exterior sheds, fruit trees, vines, and a small garden—perfect for hobbyists or outdoor enthusiasts. With too many updates to list, this property is a must-see for buyers seeking space, charm, and value.
