Listing Description

This one has that Mayberry feel - the kind of feeling small towns are built on. Sitting on a huge, flat double lot across from the city pool and a quiet little church, just a block from the city park, this 1,877 square foot 1.5-story home has been well cared for.

The character hits you right away - original woodwork, custom built-in storage tucked throughout, the kind of details builders just don't do anymore. The large kitchen flows easily into a bright, welcoming living room full of natural light. Laundry is also on the main level.

Upstairs, two large bedrooms with generous closets and a half bath round out the living space. Downstairs, the basement is unfinished, but it's clean, straight, and dry - solid bones waiting for whatever the next owner dreams up. Out back, a large 432 sf deck sits beneath a mature oak, offering the kind of shade that makes summer evenings worth sitting still for.

The detached 28x36 garage is a serious bonus that features three oversized doors and a dedicated electrical panel, ready for hobbies, projects, or just extra storage. The big-ticket items are already handled too, it has a newer roof, with a new boiler and water heater both installed within the last five years. It's hard to describe, but easy to feel. Come see it, and picture your next chapter starting here.
