Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a spacious living room with a wood burning fireplace, and a bright galley kitchen all on a single level. The genious of this home is the thoughtful split floor plan. Two generous bedrooms share a bathroom on one end, while the primary suite with its own bathroom is on the other end. At one point the primary suite was converted into an efficiency unit, so there's great potential for those needing an in-law suite or home office space. A lovely enclosed porch is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, or relax after a long day. Featuring a one car garage and a carport, this great property is as attractive as it is functional. Meticulously maintained and cared for, there's nothing that needs attention. The yard is nicely landscaped and has plenty of space for outdoor fun. You will most definitely be proud to call this your Home Sweet Home!
