Listing Description

Over 1,000 finished square feet! Cute, updated, and truly move-in ready- this three bedroom bungalow understood the assignment. Step inside to a bright, welcoming space with newer windows, flooring, lighting, cabinetry, countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an updated bathroom with a tiled shower.

The finished basement gives you even more room to spread out- third bedroom, cozy movie space, home gym, or office! And the big-ticket updates? Already handled. AC replaced in 2023, along with newer siding and roof, updated electrical, plus an added dishwasher and garbage disposal.

Outside, the new front deck adds instant curb appeal, while the poured patio and fully fenced backyard are ready for weekend hangs and space to play! A detached one-car garage and additional storage shed mean there's plenty of room for your car, bikes, tools, and all the extras. Fresh, clean, welcoming, and full of thoughtful updates, this is the kind of home where you can skip the project list, unpack your boxes, and start enjoying it from day one.
