Valuable updates including new, maintenance-free vinyl siding (wide plank with added insulation), full kitchen remodel, screen porch addition, roof (2020), and stick-built carport that doubles as a great entertaining space. The beautiful landscaping and winding walkway welcome you, and the front porch offers a great place to enjoy outdoor living. The interior has as much character as the curb appeal with hardwood floors, beautiful moldings, fresh paint, and great flow. Enter into the large living room with fireplace that adjoins a spacious dining room. The kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled for convenience and function while preserving the home's vintage personality. There is a cozy den/office with built-in bookshelves and a window seat. A central hall connects the living areas to 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. There is a great laundry room off the kitchen which gives added storage and work space.
