This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends cozy character with thoughtful updates, including a beautifully refreshed kitchen and bathrooms, along with a durable new metal roof for peace of mind. Inside, you'll find warm, inviting spaces that make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Out back is where this property truly shines.
