Back on the market through no fault of the home — the previous buyer was unable to perform, giving you
a fresh opportunity at this beautifully refreshed Staples home. Built in the 1950s with solid
construction and classic charm, this home has been thoughtfully updated while keeping so many of the
details that make it special. Enjoy gorgeous refinished wood floors, warm wood trim, arched openings, a
cozy fireplace focal point, new windows and doors, and a refreshed kitchen with vintage-inspired
character. The bathroom has been redone while preserving the original built-in toothpaste holder and
medicine cabinet, adding just the right touch of nostalgia. The spacious sunroom off the back adds a huge
amount of flexible living space — perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the outdoors without
the bugs. Move-in ready, full of personality, and ready for its next chapter.
