The main floor includes a living room, dining room, kitchen, large full bath, and a rare main-floor primary bedroom with a full wall of closet space. The dining room features an updated chandelier that adds a fresh focal point, while the kitchen includes a shiplap accent wall for added personality—all appliances remain. Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms, a second full bath tucked into the angled roofline, a flexible sitting or work space, and walk-in storage. Storage is a standout here, with more closet space than expected for a home of this era. The layout offers unique nooks ideal for desks, reading chairs, or quiet corners. The full unfinished basement includes laundry (washer and dryer stay) and workshop space. Outside, enjoy a fenced yard, patio, and a large shed for additional storage. Updates include newer windows and a brand new roof on the main portion of the home (April). Pre-inspected and selling as-is, this home presents a strong value with features not often found at this price point. Offers due by 5pm may 5
