About this House

Stunning Early American home with handsome character. This home has some particularly beautiful features that add to it's undeniable charm. I love that some of the original windows were saved. Natural light pours into the home and adds a peaceful glow to this vibrant home. Tasteful updates lend a sophisticated refinement to the property. From the soothing color pallet, lovely new floors, remodeled kitchen, remolded bathroom, and the addition of a third bedroom, this is a home with timeless appearance. How I love this sweet home, I daydream about sitting on the front porch sipping a glass of tea and reading a good book. Stop by today, this home may be calling to you! The Roof, HVAC, hot water heater, and lighting all replaced in 2022. 2022 also brought electrical updates as well. Be sure to notice the parking area in the back yard well suited for your boat or RV. Looking for investment options, real estate provides lifetime income.
