Description
This charming home looks like it came straight from the pages of a magazine - beautifully updated and perfectly positioned on a stunning, park-like 231' deep lot featuring professional landscaping and a peaceful, private backyard setting, great for entertaining, birthday parties or pre-game activities! The updated kitchen showcases soft-close Amish cabinetry, hard-surface countertops, laminate flooring, pendant lighting, and Stainless-Steel appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the eat-in dining area, family room, and sunroom highlighted by stylish board-and-batten walls, creating an inviting and functional space ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Step outside to a spacious Pergola covered deck overlooking mature trees and a fenced backyard featuring a magnificent 100+ year-old tree, an incredible playhouse and playground set, and a large stamped concrete patio with a beautiful paver sitting wall - perfect for relaxing or hosting gatherings! For the ultimate retreat, enjoy a soak in the private hot tub. Charm continues throughout the home with gorgeous wood floors, detailed moldings, and built-ins that enhance its timeless character.

Upstairs, the full bath features a classic clawfoot tub with shower and updated fixtures, blending vintage charm with modern convenience. The partially finished lower level provides additional living space with laminate flooring and includes a laundry area complete with a new laundry sink, gas and electric dryer hookups, laundry chute, new electrical box, and whole-house humidifier. Major exterior updates include a new roof (November 2025) and new siding (February 2026), along with energy-efficient replacement windows for added comfort and efficiency. A rare combination of character, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional outdoor setting - this move-in ready home is truly full of charm.
