Complete remodel from top to bottom. The main floor features a welcoming living room with semi-open staircase, dining room, and a bright kitchen with breakfast bar and walk-in pantry. You’ll also find the primary bedroom with a stylish 3/4 bath, and a convenient half bath with laundry on this level. Upstairs offers three additional bedrooms and 1-1/2 baths, providing plenty of space for family or guests. Gorgeous hardwood floors add warmth and character. A 2-stall detached garage offers extra storage or parking, and the location is hard to beat—just steps from the library and a short walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Move-in ready and full of charm, this home is one you don’t want to miss!
