Simply homey in all the right ways. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home blends comfort, function, and a touch of retro charm. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space, a practical breakfast island, and a sweet built-in with sliding glass doors, perfect for displaying your favorite dishes or cookbooks. Natural light fills the adjoining dining area and the spacious living room, where wide front windows and wood floors create a warm, inviting feel. The bedrooms feature original hardwood floors, giving each space a sense of authenticity and style that’s hard to find in newer builds. An enclosed front porch adds a bonus area for morning coffee or relaxed evenings, while the attached two-stall garage keeps life convenient year-round. The lower level includes an additional shower and offers potential to finish for extra living space or even an additional bathroom, giving flexibility to grow as your needs change. Set on a generous lot with mature trees, this property offers a comfortable lifestyle in a friendly Spencer neighborhood, close to parks, schools, and local amenities.
