Property Description
Some homes get updated. This one got reimagined! This classic 1965 brick home has been thoughtfully transformed with extensive updates in 2018 and 2022, blending the solid character of its original construction with beautiful materials, custom craftsmanship and a few details you simply don't find in every 3-bedroom, 2-bath home. The first thing you'll notice is the custom exposed timber work. Vaulted ceilings and substantial exposed beams create a striking look over both the front and back decks, while the gorgeous beam-and-gable-roof carport continues the same design and gives the home an unmistakable presence. The outdoor spaces feel intentional-made for morning coffee, evening conversations and enjoying the yard rather than simply being places to park and pass through. Inside, the kitchen has been beautifully updated with granite countertops, white cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, updated lighting and stainless appliances, including a brand-new dishwasher in 2026. Vinyl windows, architectural shingles, updated electrical service, Goodman HVAC and a newer water heater add to the extensive list of improvements. The bathrooms bring even more personality. One features a hammered copper vessel sink set atop a wine-barrel vanity, paired with a distinctive barn door leading into the laundry/bath area. The second bath has been updated with a tiled tub surround, single vanity and updated lighting. And the extras are worth a look, too. The expansive carport area includes an attached 10' x 24' workshop, providing useful space for projects, hobbies or storage. Out back, a 12' x 12' storage building with an attached chicken coop adds even more flexibility for anyone who appreciates having room to work, garden, tinker or simply spread out. This isn't just a 1965 brick home with a list of updates. It's a home with personality. From the timber-framed outdoor spaces to the granite kitchen and that unexpected copper-and-wine-barrel bathroom detail, the seller has put real thought and craftsmanship into making this home something special. Classic brick, custom character and plenty of room to enjoy it-this is one you'll want to see in person.
