Property Description

Discover exceptional value in this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath single-family home nestled in a peaceful neighborhood close to campus. This tastefully remodeled 100-year-old farmhouse seamlessly blends original character with modern conveniences, making it a perfect family home or investment opportunity. Recent updates elevate this property to a new standard, featuring all new thermal windows for enhanced energy efficiency, as well as a stunning brand-new craftsman-style kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Abundant storage is provided by shaker-style cabinetry, paired with a practical mudroom just off the back door for added convenience. Enjoy the luxury of two newly renovated full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combo upstairs and a stylish shower-only option on the main level. The home's original hardwood floors flow gracefully through the main and upper levels, while durable luxury vinyl plank enhances the appeal of the kitchen and bathrooms. The inviting front porch welcomes guests, and outdoor living is further enhanced by a covered rear deck and a private second-level deck off an upstairs bedroom—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. With an unfinished basement that offers laundry facilities and additional storage space, along with an oversized one-car detached garage for extra convenience, this home is genuinely move-in ready. Interior and exterior paint have been refreshed within the last three months, while the full remodel was completed in January 2026, allowing you to enjoy modern systems wrapped in historic charm. Embrace the warmth of this delightful neighborhood, known for its peace, friendly community, and proximity to parks, local dining, and shopping. This home exemplifies the perfect blend of modern living and timeless character—don't miss the chance to make it your own! Home can be purchased fully furnished at no additional cost.
