Fantastic opportunity to own a high-quality home that has been meticulously cared for. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath property sits on an oversized lot on the edge of town, offering space, comfort, and convenience. Between 2009–2010, the home underwent a complete renovation including new siding, roof, and windows. Two major additions were completed during that time: a spacious 650 sq. ft. kitchen, dining, and living area, along with a 720 sq. ft. 2.5-car garage. Additional updates included the installation of a high-efficiency boiler providing in-floor heat on the main level, as well as central air conditioning for year-round comfort.
