OFFER ANYTIME on this beautifully maintained and updated detached brick home, ideally situated on a spacious city lot with a carport. Charming landscaping and a refreshed front entrance invite you into a bright main level featuring a sun-filled living room that flows seamlessly into the renovated kitchen (2011), complete with timeless white cabinetry. The adjoining dining area overlooks the backyard with its mature gardens—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Completing the main floor is a full bathroom and a versatile room that can serve as a bedroom, office, or bonus space. Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms with hardwood flooring, which also runs throughout the main level.
