Cute, cozy, and packed with updates! This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home has received approximately $30,000 in improvements over the past year, giving you the character of an established home with plenty of fresh updates already taken care of. Inside, you'll find new flooring throughout (2025-2026), fresh paint (2026), and updated light fixtures, creating a bright and welcoming feel. The kitchen brings plenty of warmth and character, while the spacious upper level offers flexible room to spread out, work from home, or create your own cozy retreat. Don't want to go to the basement for laundry? No problem! There are two laundry hookups - one on the front porch! Even more updates continue outside and behind the scenes, including new window screens, epoxy flooring in the basement and enclosed back porch, a new garage roof, and a new roof over approximately half of the home-all completed in 2026. With its charming details, detached garage, and inviting enclosed porch, this is the kind of home that just feels easy to settle into and make your own. Come see all the character and updates for yourself!
