Located in a well-established neighborhood, this exceptionally maintained 3 bd, 1.5 ba home is the kind of property buyers wait for. Offering 1,197 sq ft, the home features refinished hardwood floors, fresh neutral paint, and a welcoming formal living room centered around a well-kept wood-burning fireplace. The updated kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless appliances, and generous cabinet and workspace. The primary bath has been tastefully renovated with large tile flooring and a custom double vanity, along with a matching updated half bath. HVAC system is less than 10 years old and is paired with a newly installed mini-split in the main living area to improve efficiency and help reduce energy costs. Outside, enjoy a large front porch, carport, spacious yard, and a solid wooden storage shed with custom lean-to. Located just minutes from Berry Hill Resort and Old Town South Boston, this move-in-ready home offers comfort, updates, and location at an attractive price point. Homes in this condition and price range are becoming harder to find in South Boston, making this a must-see opportunity for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize without sacrificing quality.
