The property is on a wide 50-foot lot and boasts a welcoming front yard and a long driveway that leads to a detached garage, offering ample parking and convenience. Step inside to a bright and inviting living room filled with natural light, where hardwood floors lie under the carpet and extend through the first-floor bedrooms and hallway. A cozy family room showcases exposed ceiling beams, a brick wood-burning fireplace, and large windows that create a warm and rustic ambiance. This versatile space also accommodates the dining area, making it ideal for both everyday meals and special gatherings. The home offers four bedrooms-two on the main level and two upstairs. The upstairs bedrooms feature built-in drawers and shelves, adding both character and functionality. A full, unfinished basement provides exceptional utility and endless potential.

This home has been well-maintained with a number of important updates over the years. A new garage was built in 1997, and the front steps were repaired along with the installation of a new side storm door in 2019. Blinds were added in 2018, while the basement windows were replaced in 2008. All bedroom windows were updated with Anderson windows in 2003 and 2004, and the family room windows were replaced with Feldco windows in 2009. Sold as is.
