3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 1,168 sq ft of living space, plus a finished lower level.
This split-foyer has been freshly refreshed inside and out. Lower level brightened with a fresh coat of paint.
The backyard is spacious, private, and backs directly to Valley Park - no neighbor's yard behind you, just green space and natural beauty. The park is lightly used, giving you the rare combination of privacy and scenery.
Enjoy easy outdoor living with a deck just off the four-seasons room. The storage shed out back offers great potential- it already has windows and a flower box under the window, making it easy to imagine converting into a playhouse or dollhouse. Additional built-in shelving under the four-seasons room for smart organization.
This home is welcoming, full of character, and ready for its next chapter. Come see the updates and possibilities for yourself!
