Listing Description

This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath detached brick home in Wilson School District, offers a combination of character, practical updates, and plenty of space for parking and storage.

Major improvements include replacement of the updated electrical in 2021, central air conditioning installed, natural gas boiler heat, and a gas water heater. Outside is where this property really stands apart: an asphalt driveway provides approximately five off-street parking spaces and leads to an oversized detached two-car garage.

The garage is equipped with underground electric and its own subpanel, making it an excellent option for a workshop, hobby space, additional storage, or anyone who simply needs room for vehicles and equipment.
