Charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 3 car garage and 2 private driveway home in the desirable Waldo neighborhood has been beautifully updated and meticulously maintained — featuring a dramatic 2 story Great Room addition with vaulted ceilings (approx. 27' x 24') Perfect for entertaining or relaxing offering peace of mind and modern comfort in a classic setting. While most of the home boasts original hardwood floors, the Great Room adds a striking architectural touch and extra living space. The kitchen is a standout, with generous counter space, excellent storage, and easy flow to the outdoor deck through elegant French doors — making indoor/outdoor entertaining a breeze. The deck has been freshly painted and overlooks a private backyard retreat. Car enthusiasts or those needing extra storage will appreciate the rare 3-car garage setup with two private driveways: a 1-car attached garage (original to the home) and a newer oversized 2-car detached garage in the back.
Major Updates Include:
2021: New roof, gutter guards, James Hardie siding (home + front of detached garage), HVAC system, refrigerator, and 3 brand-new garage doors
2023: New water heater and a front storm door with a built-in roll-down screen
2025: New dishwasher and entire interior professionally repainted
