Inside, a small foyer with closet provides a practical spot to drop shoes and coats before stepping into the spacious living room. A large front window overlooks the yard, filling the room with natural light. The gas fireplace with brick mantel anchors the space, adding warmth and character—perfect for cozy winter evenings. Off to the side, there’s room for a small dining table and chairs. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, an additional pantry, and a layout that flows easily for everyday living.

Three bedrooms and 1.5 baths complete the main level, including a primary bedroom with its own half bath and ceiling fan for comfort. Downstairs, the partially finished basement offers plenty of flexible space for entertaining, hobbies, or storage. The unfinished utility room houses the washer and dryer, keeping laundry convenient and separate from living space.
