Overview

Step into this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath Craftsman, built in 1930, where classic charm meets modern comfort. Perfect for a first-time homebuyer or someone looking to downsize, this home has been completely updated — new roof, HVAC system, plumbing, electrical, and all interior finishes. From the enclosed porch, the living room welcomes you with LVP flooring that flows throughout the main level. Leading into the dining room — the heart of the home — you’ll notice an exposed brick column, original to the house, and the staircase to the upper level, creating a warm, central gathering space. To the left of the dining room are two inviting main-floor bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and lights in the closets, plus the full main bath. Behind the dining room, the oversized galley kitchen shines with white cabinetry, butcher block countertops, and all-new stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, a spacious open room provides flexibility as a primary suite, home office, or creative retreat, ready to adapt to your lifestyle. From the kitchen, you can step down to the basement, which includes a full second bathroom/laundry area with a new washer and dryer, or step outside to the new back deck that connects the garage to the house and overlooks the backyard — a space ready for your personal touch and vision. Move-in ready, beautifully renovated, and thoughtfully updated, this Craftsman is full of warmth, charm, and opportunity — just waiting for you to make it home.
