Three bedroom, two bathroom corner lot home offering a great combination of character and updates! Original woodwork and a pocket door add charm to the family room, while the main level also features a formal dining room, kitchen, main floor bedroom, and full bathroom.

The second full bathroom includes a newer vanity and conveniently located laundry. The full basement provides excellent storage space, and the furnace was replaced in October 2023.
