    What's special

    Character, charm, and cute as pie! So much cute, you'll ooh and ahh through the whole house. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel how warm, lived-in, and loved this home is. The living room is bright and welcoming with tons of natural light, a wood-burning fireplace with updated tile, coved ceilings, and original hardwood floors that flow into the spacious formal dining room. Just off the dining space, you'll find a sweet little 3-season porch that’s begging for a comfy chair and a good book, or it could double as a playroom, plant room, or your morning coffee oasis. The kitchen features natural wood cabinets, a bright white tile backsplash, new appliances, a brass pot rack, and a professional hood fan. Clean, functional, and full of charm. On the main floor, you'll find two bedrooms and an updated full bath with a fun pop of floral wallpaper. There's also a bonus half bath in the front bedroom and main floor laundry for convenience. Upstairs, a spacious third bedroom with a large closet offers even more flexibility. The lower level has a second living space that's perfect for movie nights, a home gym, or a play area, with plenty of storage and room to finish more if you'd like. There’s also an additional laundry hookup downstairs if preferred. Outside, this home sits on a roomy corner lot and features sleek black siding, a steel roof, a detached garage, and a carport. Just a few blocks from Lowell Elementary, with easy access to downtown restaurants, and tucked into a sweet neighborhood, this one is truly move-in ready. Let’s go take a look at this adorable house!
