Meticulously updated while intentionally retaining its character, this home opens from an enclosed front porch into fresh paint and original hardwood floors across a majority of the main level. The large living room features a wood-burning fireplace and original built-ins, flowing into a formal dining room, two bedrooms, and an updated full bath. The kitchen offers freshly painted cabinets, brand-new LVP flooring, and all appliances stay. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds new carpet, a third bedroom with full egress, a 3/4 bath, and basement bracing, waterproofing, and a sump system by BAM with a transferable warranty. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard with new chain-link on three sides and privacy in the back, plus a 1-car detached garage with new siding/door and a separate storage room off the back. Major updates: Garage siding/door 2026, Roof 2024, BAM waterproofing 2024, HVAC 2024. Call your agent to schedule a tour.
