What's special

Newly painted deckHot tubAbove-ground poolFire pit with swingsWelcoming flexible living spaceSpacious upstairs

Welcome home to a space that just feels right. Inside you'll find plenty of welcoming, flexible living space, whether you're growing into it or utilizing the spacious upstairs for a little rental potential. Out front, a classic covered porch with a swing sets an easy relaxed tone. In the back you'll find a newly painted deck, above-ground pool, hot tub, and fire pit with swings that create a backyard that feels like a private retreat. More than another fresh renovation, this is a home you feel the moment you walk in. Morning coffee out on the front porch, summer evenings by the fire and spaces that bring people together. Comfort, character, and a place to build memories.
