MOVE-IN READY! Enjoy easy one-level living in a convenient location in this charming cottage. Numerous updates have already been completed, including electrical, HVAC, vinyl siding, septic tank and drain lines, and durable LVP flooring—offering peace of mind for the next owner. The hall closet provides flexible space for additional storage or potential conversion to a half bath or laundry closet. Outside, low-maintenance flower beds burst with color in the spring and continue blooming well into the fall with mini butterfly bushes and day lilies. The fully fenced backyard features a large deck and raised garden beds—perfect for growing herbs and vegetables—which may remain with the buyer’s choice. A transferable termite bond is included for added confidence.
