Don't let the exterior fool you-this is one home you need to see inside to truly appreciate the space! This affordable and exceptionally well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home features an open floor plan with a spacious eat-in kitchen and living room highlighted by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The primary bedroom offers cathedral ceilings and double closets. The finished basement adds valuable living space with a family room and a convenient half bath. Outside, you'll find a large, detached garage with a separate workshop area, a fenced backyard, and off-street parking. The roof was replaced in 2015, making this home move-in ready and full of value.
