Off the dining room, you'll find a spacious first-floor bedroom with a massive walk-in closet that could also serve as a home office.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the first-floor bathroom and laundry area have been updated with new flooring, beadboard walls, a new shower, and updated plumbing. When the current owner purchased the home, they also added a brand-new 3/4-inch copper water line from the meter to the house, enhancing the home's infrastructure. Upstairs, you'll discover four freshly painted bedrooms, each featuring brand-new windows (2024), new light fixtures, and new carpeting. A full-sized bathroom completes the upper level. Additional updates include a new gambrel roof (2024) and new vinyl siding on the upper portion of the house, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
