Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, looking for room to grow a family, or searching for a strong addition to your investment portfolio, opportunities like this rarely come along. Built in 1954, back when homes were truly built to last, this home has been cared for extraordinarily well over the years and features great bones along with numerous important updates throughout. From the moment you arrive, the home’s attractive curb appeal, manicured landscaping, updated roof, and attached single-car garage make an immediate impression. Inside, you’ll find a roomy and functional layout filled with beautiful natural light, especially in the main living room where the large bay window creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Gorgeous hardwood floors run throughout the first floor, and the cozy wood-burning fireplace adds charm and character to the lower living space. The home also features good sized bedrooms and an abundance of storage, including a large family room closet with extensive built-in shelving. Numerous recent updates make this home truly move-in ready, including fresh paint in the kitchen, family room, bathrooms, stairwell, and both bedrooms. The bathroom trim work has also been updated, three brand-new overhead ceiling fans have recently been installed, and the bay window trim was freshly sanded and painted. Additional improvements include a brand-new garage door opener motor, newer washer and dryer, and newer dishwasher. Major systems have already been updated for peace of mind, with the roof being less than 5 years old and the central air, windows, and hot water heater all replaced within the last 10 years. The lower level offers outstanding flexibility with a spacious utility/laundry/mud room featuring direct staircase access to the backyard, creating excellent potential for anyone looking to customize the home for separate living accommodations, guest quarters, or additional functional space. Outside, the enormous fenced backyard is one of the property’s standout features, offering endless possibilities for entertaining, gardening, recreation, pets, or future expansion. The custom fire pit area is already equipped with both 220 and 110 electric service, allowing future owners to easily connect lighting, entertainment features, or other outdoor amenities.
