What the owner loves about this home

This home has been part of our family’s life since it was built in 1963. We’ve watched our family grow here, celebrated holidays and special occasions, and made so many wonderful memories over the years. It has truly been more than just a house—it has been our home. We’ve always appreciated the spacious rear parking, garage, and unfinished basement, which have given us plenty of room for storage and everyday living. While it’s time for a new chapter, we hope the next owner will see the potential in this home and have the opportunity to make their own memories here, just as we have.
