Nestled on a generous corner lot beside the town’s beloved park and pool, this timeless two-story home invites you into a lifestyle rich with space, character, and small-town ease. With four bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a thoughtful blend of gathering and quiet spaces, there's room here for both lively moments and peaceful reflection. Step through the front entry onto covered concrete steps and into a home where tradition meets possibility. The dining and living rooms are gracefully defined by classic wood pillars, framing a fireplace and patio doors that a person could build a beautiful deck nestled in the corner of backyard. The eat-in kitchen, main-floor laundry, and cozy reading room offer everyday practicality with a touch of charm. Downstairs, the full basement expands your living space with a family room area, a utility room, and a nostalgic fruit room — a nod to the home’s enduring warmth. Hardwood floors rest patiently beneath the carpet, ready to be revealed and restored to their original beauty. An attached two-car garage opens to the backyard’s stamped concrete patio — the perfect spot for evening conversations beneath the trees and blooming backyard, where two garden sheds, flowers, and mature trees create a private oasis just steps from the community’s heart. This is more than a house — it’s a place to settle in, to grow, and to savor the rhythm of a welcoming neighborhood. With excellent schools nearby and a safe, close-knit atmosphere, this home is the perfect setting for your next chapter
