This move-in-ready home features an inviting covered front porch, light-filled living spaces, and a functional floor plan ideal for everyday living and casual entertaining.

Original refinished hardwood floors add warmth and historic charm, while thoughtful renovations provide comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind.

Outside, enjoy a spacious patio, terraced garden space with established blueberry bushes and herbs, creating a private outdoor retreat. The lot is ideal for possible future expansion, and additional storage is available in the carport.

Major recent improvements include a new roof (2024), new windows (2024), restored plaster and fresh interior paint (2023), and a radon mitigation system (2023).
