Charming and move-in ready, this home at 514 College Avenue East in Carthage offers the kind of updates buyers are looking for without losing its comfortable, welcoming feel. You’ll immediately notice the fresh new paint throughout, giving the home a clean, bright look, while the brand new windows bring in great natural light and help with energy efficiency. The new LVP flooring ties everything together with a modern touch that’s both stylish and durable.
It’s just minutes from local schools, making daily routines simple and convenient whether you're heading out in the morning or back home in the afternoon. You’re also close to everything Carthage has to offer, but still tucked into a spot that feels easygoing and livable.
If you’re looking for something updated, low-maintenance, and in a practical location, this one is definitely worth a look.
The family has built a new home so there is some contents in the basement that will be removed.
