Description
Step into a home that blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. This 3-bedroom, 2 full bath, 1.5-story residence offers approximately 1,800 square feet of inviting living space, perfectly situated on a quiet, one-way historic brick street. Since 2019, the home has seen extensive improvements that enhance both comfort and peace of mind. The entire exterior has been freshly painted, all porch screens upgraded to durable SuperScreen, and a new roof was installed on the main house in 2020 (with the garage roof replaced in 2017). The welcoming porch has also been refreshed with new paint, creating the perfect spot to unwind. Inside, the living room features new carpet in 2025, a cozy electric fireplace insert, and added sliding barn doors that bring in natural light and easy access to outdoor living. Several ceilings have been updated with drywall, while the front-facing main floor windows have been replaced to improve efficiency and curb appeal. The kitchen showcases rustic knotty pine cabinetry, adding warmth and charm. Major mechanical updates include replaced plumbing to the main floor, a new water heater in 2022, and recently installed appliances including a dishwasher, washer, and dryer. A new deck (2023) and new gutters (2021) further add to the home's functionality and outdoor enjoyment. All three bedrooms feature beautiful hardwood floors, and the partially finished basement provides additional living space with a rec room-perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Outside, the spacious 200-foot deep backyard offers endless possibilities for play, gardening, or gatherings. The screened porch is truly a retreat of its own and even offers a unique perk-easy access to enjoy high school football games just across the street. Completing the property is a 2.5-car garage, providing ample space for vehicles, storage, or hobbies. This home is a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained property full of character, updates, and space-both inside and out.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis high school is truly disappointing as an educational institution. Schools are supposed to be a safe place our children go to further their education and pave the way for their future. Lastly, high school should be fun. I absolutely loved high school! Sadly, here, my nephew fears going to school each day due to being assaulted and harassed on a ridiculously regular basis. When he tries to report an incident, said incident is brushed under the rug as he is accused of exaggerating the incident he is a victim of. The educators never keep their stories straight. My nephew was suspended for almost 2 weeks on account of my nephew is the minority. I normally would not pull the race card, as in a lot of situations I feel it's used as a cop out. However, when his brother was expelled due to "behavioral issues" and comes home with weekly reports of perfect behavior from his new institution it makes you think. My nephew, who is currently suffering this staff, was stabbed with a pencil TWICE. When he tried to go to the principal to report it they said he was just poked. It has now been 2 weeks and my nephew has a scar forming. My nephew who is being suspended for 2 weeks asked the principal for space as he was made uncomfortable. My nephew was denied his space so he told him to back up. This all occurring after a teacher told him she didn't want to have to fight him earlier in the week. Of course when questioned, she tried to clean up her comment. This is NOT a school that can be trusted to SAFELY educate our youth with integrity.
