This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is full of timeless character, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, a bright and sunny living room with southern exposure, a formal dining room, and spacious living areas filled with natural light. Major improvements include a furnace and HVAC system installed in 2017, a central A/C unit that's approximately six years old, and a roof that's also about six years old.
