    Charming colonial-style home with great potential! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath property (with the possibility of a second bath in the basement needing some finishing touches) offers classic character and solid bones—perfect for a first-time buyer or savvy investor. The main level features a welcoming living room with built-in shelving, a formal dining room, and a kitchen with ample cabinet space. A convenient mudroom adds functionality, while the enclosed front porch provides a cozy spot to relax. Upstairs, you’ll find an updated full bath with a new vanity top, faucet, vinyl flooring, a beautifully tiled shower with glass doors, and a generously sized linen closet. Hardwood floors lie beneath the carpet in the living and dining rooms, and are believed to continue into the bedrooms (not verified). Additional highlights include newer windows, glass block basement windows, and a hot water tank replaced in 2024. The home also includes a 1-car garage. With just a little TLC, this property can truly shine—making it an excellent starter home or a fantastic rental opportunity!
