This charming 3-bedroom home has so much to offer! The main floor features both a living room and family room, an eat-in kitchen, convenient main-floor laundry, and three enclosed porches that provide plenty of additional space to enjoy. Outside, you'll find a cute, fully fenced yard with a storage shed, along with a 1-car attached garage and 1-car carport. One of the most unique features of this property is the separate space at the back of the home with its own private entrance and half bath which can be used as a primary suite. Previously used as a longtime hair salon, this versatile area offers great possibilities for a home office, studio, hobby space, or potential home-based business, subject to local zoning and requirements. With plenty of living space, a fenced yard, ample parking, and a truly unique area, this home offers flexibility you don't find every day!
