    What's special

    Paved roadThree bedrooms
    Cute as can be, this east-facing 1950s bungalow-style home blends classic charm with thoughtful updates and a peaceful country feel. Inside, you’ll find hardwood flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms, with durable LVP in the kitchen and bathroom. The three bedrooms and updated full bath make the layout comfortable and functional, while the full, unfinished basement offers laundry hookups, great storage and room to grow. Sitting on just over a half-acre along a paved road, this property offers peaceful country living with the convenience of being only minutes from town. Mature trees surround the home, creating privacy and a serene setting. A detached two-stall garage adds convenience, and for those dreaming a little bigger, there is potential to purchase additional land featuring outbuildings, a small orchard, and a garden plot. Ask your agent for more details—this one is full of possibilities.
