From the moment you arrive, the inviting covered front porch, mature landscaping, and classic architecture set the tone for what's waiting inside. Step through the front door and into a spacious living room where original hardwood floors, beautiful woodwork, built-ins, and a fireplace immediately make this home feel special. Continue into the dining room and you'll find even more original detail, including gorgeous built-in cabinetry and a window seat that add both charm and function. Just beyond, the kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and counter space, while a convenient half bath and additional office provide flexibility for everyday living. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The full basement provides even more room for storage, laundry, hobbies, or whatever fits your needs. Outside, the backyard offers plenty to enjoy with a pergola, established fruit including apple trees, blackberries and grapes, and a detached two-car garage. The home has also seen several important improvements over the years, including a brand-new roof in 2026, newly paved driveway, LeafGuard gutters, garage roof in 2025, whole-house water filter, updated electrical service, replacement windows, and more. With its beautiful original details, functional layout, outdoor space, and major updates already completed, this is a home that has been thoughtfully cared for while keeping the character that makes it truly one of a kind.
