Welcome home to a property that perfectly balances modern upgrades with incredible potential. As you step inside, you are greeted by a beautiful foyer featuring high ceilings that create an immediate sense of space and warmth. The main level boasts a classic layout designed for comfortable living, offering a bright formal living room, an eat-in kitchen, and a cozy family room complete with a charming fireplace. Down the hall, you will find three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. This home has been thoughtfully refreshed with several recent building improvements, including a brand-new roof, fresh paint throughout, new flooring, updated lighting, and stylish new kitchen countertops. The full, unfinished basement provides a massive canvas for your future design ideas, currently hosting the laundry area and a convenient second full bathroom. Outside, the property features a fully fenced yard equipped with a patio, a fire pit for evening gatherings, a handy storage shed, and an attached 1.5-car garage. While the major updates have been taken care of, this home is being sold as-is and just needs a little extra love and personal touch to truly shine. Bring your design ideas and make this spacious property your own!
