    What's special

    This charming one-bedroom, one-bath home is the perfect blend of cute and cozy. About 20 years ago, it underwent a complete remodel, including updates to the windows, walls, kitchen, plumbing, electrical systems, and more. An enclosed back porch adds versatile living space, ideal for a home office, TV room, or dining area. The main floor laundry is conveniently located in the kitchen. Tucked away at the end of a dead-end road, the home offers excellent privacy. The large, fully fenced yard features a screened room resembling a gazebo, a spacious double garage, and a private backyard patio—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Whether you're single or a couple searching for a comfortable and inviting home, this one is well worth a look.
