    Welcome to 3015 Story St., where charm meets comfort! This delightful 2-bedroom home is packed with personality and ready for you to move in. Fresh updates make every space shine, starting with the refinished hardwood floors that flow through the living room, hallway, and both bedrooms, perfect for showing off your best sock-slide moves. Storage? We've got you covered! Built-in shelves, a linen closet, and handy cupboards help keep everything neat and tidy. The kitchen is cozy and efficient, complete with a refrigerator, range, and mounted microwave so you can whip up anything from midnight snacks to gourmet feasts. Plus, the brand-new vinyl flooring adds a fresh touch! Say goodbye to sweltering summers. The new central air and AC keep things cool while you chill inside. But when you're ready for some fresh air, the enclosed back porch is the perfect spot to unwind with friends, sip your morning coffee, or celebrate life's little victories. And beyond that? A spacious backyard just waiting for BBQs, bonfires, and backyard games. Downstairs, the finished rec room (featuring a stylish sliding barn door) is ready to be your entertainment hub, game lounge, or creative escape. The laundry area boasts a washer and dryer that are just two years old, and there is extra space for a workshop or storage—so bring your hobbies and big ideas! The cherry on top? A brand-new roof on both the house and detached garage (not enclosed porch) plus new gutters on the house for extra peace of mind. Located just a short walk from campus and a CyRide stop with four different route options, this home is perfect as a starter home, investment, or your own personal happy place. Don't miss out—come see it for yourself! List agent is related to the Seller.
