Welcome home to this charming ALL-BRICK 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offering timeless curb appeal, thoughtful updates, and easy living! The newer windows provide added comfort and efficiency, while the furnace and A/C were updated in 2021 and are maintained annually through a service program. A newer thermostat, updated insulation, newer storm door, and basement windows add even more peace of mind. Inside, the inviting living room features beautiful engineered hardwood flooring, while the kitchen offers a gas range and 3 additional stainless-steel appliances that stay, along with the washer and dryer. The basement provides great storage and functionality, with radon mitigation installed recently and a battery backup for the sump pump installed approximately 5 years ago.
