Fantastic curb appeal welcomes you with a large front yard, tree-lined driveway, warm wood-paneled exterior, and a striking front-facing brick chimney.

The roomy eat-in kitchen offers delightful retro flair with a vintage counter, wine cork backsplash, and plenty of space for casual dining. Two nice-sized bedrooms share a full bath, including one bedroom with built-ins beneath a beautiful glass block window that brings in soft natural light. A stone floor breezeway just off the kitchen provides convenient access to the driveway, backyard, and attached garage. The full basement includes laundry, ample storage, and exciting finishing potential for additional living space. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard perfect for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining.
