You're immediately welcomed by the impeccably landscaped lot that sets the tone for the care and pride found throughout.

A generously sized laundry room offers abundant cabinet storage and a convenient drop zone when entering from the attached 2-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms - all with hardwood flooring (currently protected by carpet) - and a beautifully updated full bath with a large vanity and tiled tub/shower. Siding and windows (2005), bay window (2019), roof (2008), furnace & humidifier (2013), A/C (2020), and water heater (2025). This home has been cherished for decades, and now it's ready for its next owners to make new memories.
