This well-maintained home is packed with updates and offers a setup you won't find just anywhere. A pass-through lot provides front access on SW 3rd St and rear access off SW 3rd Place, paired with an oversized 2.5-car garage making it a great spot for car and hobby enthusiasts.
The main floor is bright and welcoming, featuring a formal living room, two bedrooms, a nicely updated 3/4 bath, and an eat-in kitchen perfect for everyday living. Just off the kitchen, the sunroom is the heart of the home, a wonderful space for entertaining or simply unwinding while natural light pours in year-round.
The lower level primary suite offers privacy and separation from the main living areas, complete with a large walk-in closet and a full bath just off the informal living room, providing a comfortable retreat at the end of the day.
Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard and hot tub deck.
