This meticulously maintained home has been loved by the same owner since it was built in 1958! The home offers a perfect balance of a peaceful retreat and friendly community living. The curb appeal is evident with the manicured lawn & beautiful flower beds that add pops of color throughout the seasons. As you enter, you are greeted by the spacious living room. Original hardwood floors throughout the front living room and 3 bedrooms have been protected by carpet and are in wonderful condition. The kitchen opens to the dining room and family room with cozy fireplace as the centerpiece. This area of the home is a haven for relaxation and entertainment with expansive windows letting in plenty of natural light. The backyard offers a covered patio, fully fenced yard, and 1.5 car garage. This home is turnkey, ready and waiting for a new family.
