Several updates ensure that new owners can move right in with ease. You’ll find new energy efficient windows and new paint throughout, in addition to a fairly new roof and water heater. In the main residence, several windows let in cheerful natural light at every turn. Engineered floors, fresh paint, and neat trim work in each space create a dialed-in canvas for you to infuse with your own style. Find effortless flow from the living room into the dining area and gorgeous new kitchen.

The kitchen sparkles like new—because it is! New appliances rest alongside generous cabinetry and counters, and on-trend details characterize the space. The calm palette of grays and whites along with an eye-catching accent wall instantly elevates the aesthetic—time spent meal prepping for the week ahead is all the more enjoyable, and feel pride in ownership when you host guests! From the kitchen and dining area, French doors open up onto the wrap-around deck, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living during warmer months. Pop outside for al fresco dining whenever the mood strikes this spring and summer!

This main residence also includes 3 bedrooms, and an immaculate bath. Pristine, stylish finishes delight here as well! And while there’s plenty of opportunity for everyone to have their own private space on this level, downstairs offers even more versatility. In the daylight basement, a separate apartment could be used for a live-in relative, or it could be sublet for rental income. The ideal location is a definite selling point for potential renters (but more on this in a moment!).

This apartment features a warm and inviting living room, an adjacent dining area, and a beautifully maintained kitchen. 1 bedroom and 1 bath promise comfortable living, and a private entrance ensures that residents can come and go as they please.

And finally, one of this property’s top perks is the fact that the large lot includes a huge backyard. The sky is the limit when it comes to dreaming up possibilities for the expansive lawn. In the years to come, you might decide to create a patio or deck, build a play toy, add in lush landscaping and raised beds for gardening… and more! Right now, the lawn is perfect for pets and throwing around a football.
