This classic 2-story home features refinished solid wood floors throughout, ample replacement windows that flood the home with natural light, and thoughtful updates that blend function with style. Enjoy sunrises from the front porch, sunsets from the private upper-level balcony, and relaxing afternoons in the landscaped front or fenced-in backyard.
Inside, you'll find a welcoming foyer, spacious living and dining rooms with craftsman-style trim, and a versatile office area at the back of the home. The kitchen has been beautifully renovated with wood countertops, tile backsplash, painted cabinets, updated lighting, a center island, and more. Both bathrooms have been refreshed with updated sinks, hardware, and finishes. Other upgrades include a new wooden privacy fence, a custom woodshed, additional storage in the primary closet, new exterior and interior lighting, outdoor electrical wiring, and second-story gutters with leaf guards.
