The functional floor plan features beautiful hardwood flooring throughout much of the main level, creating warmth and character from the moment you enter. The first floor bedroom is being used as an office. Enjoy relaxing mornings or evenings on the inviting front porch, the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the neighborhood. The home offers three bedrooms. The first floor bedroom is being used as an office, one full bath, and additional space in the basement with the potential to add a second bathroom.
