With 1,237 finished square feet on the main level, the home features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and an attached 2-car garage. Fresh paint throughout, new carpet, and updated baths create a move-in-ready feel.

Additional updates include a newer garage door, water heater 2025, roof and siding in 2015. A rare combination of small-town convenience and country serenity. Come see how you can make this home yours!
