Welcome to your new home—ready for you to move in and make your own! This charming residence combines comfort with easy living. The open, flowing layout on the first floor is thoughtfully designed to connect each space. Step out onto the back deck from both the four-season room and the kitchen via sliding glass doors—perfect for grilling and entertaining, while also allowing natural light to flood the east side of the home. The flat, spacious backyard offers endless possibilities, whether you want to create a garden or set up a play area. Inside, the wood-burning fireplace has been upgraded with glass doors and a newly lined chimney. Upstairs you find two bedrooms and refreshed full bathroom. The 3rd bedroom is on the main level adjacent to a 1/2 bath powder room. You’ll also appreciate the care put into recent updates, including electrical, plumbing, and a fully remodeled kitchen.
