Charming and Spacious 2-3 Bedroom Home! Welcome to this delightful home offering spacious rooms and wonderful flexibility throughout! The inviting eat-in kitchen features abundant storage with custom-crafted cabinetry and even includes a convenient built-in workspace. A formal dining room and large living room provide plenty of space for entertaining or relaxing, while the cozy 8x12 area makes a perfect office, playroom, or hobby space. The main-floor laundry was previously a bedroom and can easily be converted back, offering the option of a third bedroom if desired. Enjoy the enclosed front porch with storm windows-ideal for morning coffee or quiet evenings. A full basement adds excellent storage and a great workshop area. The home has been well maintained with numerous updates: roof 2015, furnace 2007, (serviced regularly and most recently on 10/6/2025), central air (2012), and water heater (2017). The 2-car detached garage features insulated walls for added comfort and versatility. Electrical has been updated to circuit breakers, and the sewer lines have been replaced with PVC piping. This move-in-ready home is perfect for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a well-cared-for property with charm, space, and value!
