Freshly renovated and move-in ready, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers updated finishes, flexible living spaces, and plenty of opportunity to make it your own. Step inside from the covered front porch to a bright main level featuring new paint, lighting, flooring, trim, and 3-panel interior doors throughout. The shared living and dining area flows into a beautifully updated custom white kitchen complete with new stainless steel appliances. A full bathroom, convenient main-floor laundry, and bonus room with a closet—perfect for a home office, hobby room, or additional flex space—round out the main level. The laundry room also offers back-door access, providing a natural spot for a future patio or outdoor entertaining area.
Upstairs, a spacious landing adds even more usable living space and could easily become a second family room, reading nook, office, game area, or media space. You’ll also find two bedrooms, including a generously sized primary bedroom, an updated 3/4 bath, and an additional transitional space ready for a creative touch—think cozy reading nook, dressing area, storage, or another customized retreat. An attached tandem garage adds convenient parking and storage. With the major cosmetic updates already completed, this home is ready for its next owner to settle in and make it their own.
