This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath, story-and-a-half home, built in 1938, boasts a very large updated kitchen with table space, a separate dining room, and a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and open staircase. The main floor has one bedroom, a full bath with washer and dryer included, and a back deck to enjoy the outdoors. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, each with three closets, and a remodeled 2021 bath. New carpet was installed in 2026 in the downstairs bedroom and one upstairs. The downstairs bath (with laundry) was updated in 2023 with a double walk-in shower. The roof was replaced in 2022. The standout feature is the 24x36 insulated metal garage, built in 2025, with 12-foot tall walls, a garage door opener, in-floor heating setup (just add a boiler), an 8x24 loft, and both workbenches and the bar included. The water heater is from 2017, and the furnace and AC are older but well maintained.
