Move-in ready with plenty of charm and a little bit of country right in town! The inviting front porch and flower-filled landscaping set the tone before you even step inside. This home offers 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and a spacious family room/Bounus Room that could easily be converted to a 3rd bedroom. The family room has been updated with red cedar plank walls and features a wood-burning fireplace that was cleaned and serviced last fall. You'll also find cedar accents on the back porch, where additional washer and dryer hookups are hidden behind the planks if you'd prefer to relocate the laundry.
Kitchen appliances stay, along with the new stackable washer and dryer. Outside may be where this property really surprises you! The backyard backs up to the park and features a new red cedar pergola, gazebo, carport and storage sheds. Deer and turkey are frequent visitors, giving the backyard a peaceful, country feel.
The insulated 2-car garage is heated with propane, has its own electric meter and includes a half bath. An additional room provides even more possibilities—home office, salon, hobby room or whatever fits your needs.
Lots of character, flexible living space and room to enjoy both indoors and out!
