Property Description
The living room's converted electric fireplace adds cozy ambiance, and the practical flooring throughout the main level makes the home both beautiful and easy to maintain. The updated kitchen is a standout—shaker-style cabinetry, solid-surface counters, stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry, and main-floor laundry create a highly functional workspace. Every detail feels intentional, blending modern convenience with the home's timeless character. Two generous main-floor bedrooms offer comfortable living arrangements—one with brand-new carpet (2026) and the other with seamless flooring that flows from the main living areas. The remodeled full bath features a tub/shower combo, comfort-height vanity, and elevated commode. Upstairs, a spacious private suite spans the entire level, complete with a full bath, tub/shower combo, a huge walk-in closet, and additional storage nooks—ideal for a quiet retreat, guest suite, or flex space. Outside, the fully fenced backyard provides room to play, garden, or relax. Alley access offers private off-street parking in addition to the 1-car detached garage (with 60-amp service). A large concrete patio sits just off the back of the home—perfect for summer evenings, grilling, or gathering with friends. The dry, unfinished basement adds abundant storage options. Major updates for peace of mind: Roof, HVAC, water heater, wiring, windows, gutters, insulation, appliances, bathroom remodels (all 2019) • Fence 2020 • Added counters/cabinets 2022 • New carpet 2026.
