Step inside to a welcoming layout filled with natural light, featuring a cozy living area and an eat-in kitchen that provides the perfect space for everyday dining and gathering. Recent updates provide confidence for the next owner, including a new water heater (August 2020), central air (July 2020), and furnace (October 2020) for efficient year-round comfort. A digital thermostat (June 2022) adds modern convenience, while the washer and dryer (April 2023) are included for immediate move-in ease.
