What's special

Heated detached one-stall garageWood floorsUpdated dining roomThree generously sized bedroomsBeautiful updateFully fenced backyard

If you love the character of an older home but want spaces that feel fresh and welcoming, this 1900 two-story is worth a look! Extensive remodeling in recent years has given the main level a beautiful update while preserving its charm. Wood floors run through the large living room and updated dining room, creating warm spaces for everyday living and gathering. The kitchen has tile flooring, and the back entry offers a tucked-away spot for coats and shoes. A ¾ bath on the main level adds convenience. The updates continue upstairs with a refreshed hallway and half bath, plus cosmetic updates to the bedrooms. You’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and an office currently used as a toddler room. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers room to enjoy, while a concrete patio with privacy fencing makes a great spot to relax or entertain. A heated, detached one-stall garage rounds out this home’s mix of old charm and modern touches.**Listing agent is related to seller**
