A separate living room, dining area and den provide flexibility for a variety of lifestyles and uses.
Beyond its classic appeal, the home has benefited from numerous meaningful improvements. The roof was replaced in 2024, and additional updates include replacement double-pane thermal windows, electrical and plumbing improvements, an encapsulated crawlspace and a gas-pack HVAC system installed around 2020. A routinely maintained Generac generator serves both the residence and workshop, offering an additional source of power during outages. These improvements provide a solid starting point for someone looking to enjoy the home's existing character while making it their own.
Outside, mature landscaping and an established lawn enhance the property's curb appeal. A private well supplies the Rain Bird irrigation system, while an electrified workshop/storage building offers valuable additional space for hobbies, projects, equipment or storage.
