    What's special

    Flexible living spaceExceptional garage
    Oversized 3-car garage, major updates, and move-in ready — this home offers a lot at a great price! This charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home features an inviting layout and numerous improvements throughout. One of the biggest highlights is the oversized 3-car garage, providing plenty of space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a workshop. One stall is fully insulated and drywalled, making it especially useful for year-round projects or additional workspace. Inside, the home has been well updated and maintained. The basement features newer walls, a new sump pump, and two egress windows that were added when the walls were replaced. Laundry is currently located in the lower level, but the main-floor half bath previously housed the laundry and could potentially be converted back for use with a stackable washer and dryer. Additional updates include new siding in 2024, plus a new roof, HVAC system, and water heater in 2020. A water filtration system is also in place. Kitchen has concrete counter-tops and stainless steel appliances that stay. The dining area has a charming built in corner bench. There is a good size half bath on the main level for convenience. Out back, enjoy the added bonus of open green space directly behind the property, creating a more spacious and peaceful backdrop. With its updated mechanicals, flexible living space, exceptional garage, and attractive price point, this home offers features that can be hard to find. Schedule your showing today!
