Step inside and discover a home that beautifully blends original character, thoughtful updates, and move-in-ready convenience. The sellers have taken great care of this property so the next family can spend less time worrying about projects and more time enjoying their new home.

One of the standout features is the original hardwood flooring throughout the home, which has been beautifully restored and sealed, bringing warmth and timeless character to the living spaces.

The possibilities continue upstairs with a 42' x 10' temperature-controlled attic featuring the original hardwood flooring. Whether you envision additional storage, a hobby space, home office, or future finished living space, this unique area offers incredible potential.

The dry basement has also been thoughtfully painted and provides abundant storage space or the opportunity to create additional finished living areas. The existing shelving and dresser in the basement will remain with the home.

The bathroom was completely remodeled in 2025, including a new subfloor, LVP flooring, toilet, and walk-in shower. A convenient laundry chute is located in the bathroom closet, adding an extra touch of functionality.

The 50-gallon electric water heater was replaced on December 9, 2025, and the home is equipped with a whole-home generator that automatically activates during a power outage and runs on natural gas, providing valuable peace of mind and comfort when you need it most.

The kitchen was remodeled in 2019 while preserving the beautiful original cabinetry, creating a great combination of character and functionality.
