Property Description

This mid-century gem, built in 1958, blends timeless craftsmanship with modern upgrades. The low-maintenance brick exterior and lifetime roof offer peace of mind, while the nearly fully fenced yard provides privacy and space to enjoy. The detached 2-car garage features 120 amp service, LED lighting, pegboard walls, and sleek epoxy flooring. Two bonus sheds—perfect for woodworking and gardening—are fully functional and secure. Step onto the spacious back patio for outdoor entertaining or enjoy the charming covered front porch. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, granite countertops, solid cabinetry, stainless appliances, central vac (with dual sets), and solid-core doors. The updated windows, storm doors, and whole-home generator offer comfort year-round, and the tankless water heater ensures endless hot baths in the jetted tub. The finished lower level includes a bonus room, two additional non-egress rooms, full bath, and laundry/storage. This one is special—meticulously maintained and built to last.
