1542 Carolyn offers a rare combination of space and updated construction on a ½-acre lot. Originally built in 1945, the home was fully renovated with additions in 2022 by Anchor Custom Builders, providing modern functionality while maintaining its original character.
The layout supports both daily living and entertaining, with a screened porch overlooking the backyard and a dedicated fire pit area. This is a strong option for buyers looking for more space, updated systems, and outdoor living without taking on a renovation.
