for $139,900 with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. This 2,288 square foot home was built in 1949 on a lot size of 0.2.
Some homes just feel like they've been loved, and this one shows it from the moment you step though the door! Inside, graceful arched doorways and warm oak trim set a tone that's timeless and welcoming. The living room is bright and easygoing, with a large picture window and an arched display niche that adds a touch of vintage charm. It flows into a sunny dining area framed by oversized windows, which opens to a kitchen made for real life: rich oak cabinetry, glass-front uppers, charming apothecary-style drawers, stainless appliances, and a peninsula breakfast bar for morning coffee or homework help. Hardwood floors run through the main-level rooms, including a bedroom brightened by two windows and a second bedroom that's a true showstopper. It's wrapped in floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves, with a window seat and French doors that open to a brick paver patio, so it works beautifully as a bedroom, home office, or reading retreat. The main bath pairs a pedestal sink with generous built-in linen storage, and the hallway adds even more built-in drawers. Upstairs, the spacious third bedroom offers angled ceilings, a skylight, recessed lighting, and exposed brick for a cozy, one-of-a-kind feel. The finished lower level adds a large carpeted rec area, plus a second full bath with laundry. Character, storage, and room to spread out, all in a small-town setting. Call for your showing today!
