Inside, the home lives simply with two bedrooms, one full bath, and defined living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Fresh paint and new carpet bring a crisp refresh; the perfect canvas for your personal style and future updates. Enjoy slow mornings on the porch or unwind in the evening overlooking a yard full of possibility. Whether your vision includes gardens and gatherings or expansion and community living, this property offers the kind of flexibility that rarely comes along. Double the footprint. Double the potential.
