About This Home

Adorable 3-bedroom, 1-bath home situated on a spacious lot with partial fencing and plenty of outdoor amenities! This well-maintained property offers 1,550 sq. ft. of main-level living space and features numerous recent updates throughout. Improvements include new light fixtures, new exterior doors, a new kitchen sink, new toilet, and a new A/C unit. The furnace has recently been serviced, and the home has been spray foam insulated for added comfort and efficiency. Inside, you’ll find durable commercial-grade LVP flooring throughout much of the home, creating a clean and modern feel. A small pocket basement with trap door access houses utilities and provides crawl space access. Outside, the property continues to impress with a one-stall garage featuring its own sub-panel, ample off-street parking, an 8x10 vinyl storage shed, a cozy fire pit area, and even a rhubarb patch behind the garage. RV and camper owners will appreciate the dedicated 50-amp camper hookup located on the southwest corner of the home. For added peace of mind, the home also includes four Eufy security cameras that stay with the property. This charming home offers comfort, functionality, and plenty of extras both inside and out!
