    What's special

    Morning light filters across Alpha Park as you step onto the welcoming southern facing front porch, the kind of spot where coffee tastes better and neighbors still wave as they pass by. Inside, the home opens with a layout that feels immediately comfortable, each room flowing naturally into the next while offering the kind of generous space that makes everyday living feel easy. The living and dining areas invite gatherings both large and small, while the kitchen sits at the center of it all, connected to the rhythm of the home and just steps from the partially covered back deck where dinners outside and quiet evenings become part of daily life. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide peaceful places to unwind, including a primary space that feels tucked away and private, while two full baths and an additional half bath keep the home practical. Throughout the home, storage reveals itself at every turn, from the full rafter style attic to the second attic above the garage, giving everything a place without sacrificing living space. Downstairs, the partially finished basement expands the possibilities even further with extensive mounted shelving and a potential workshop area filled with electrical outlets, ideal for projects or hobbies. Outside, the backyard offers room to relax, garden, or gather around the 12x8 storage shed that adds even more functionality. Set directly across from the park in Alpha, this is a home where comfort, practicality, and small town charm come together.
