Property Description

The main level features a welcoming living room, dining area, and kitchen, along with 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. A separate exterior entry from the back porch leads to the upper level, offering 3 additional rooms and a full bathroom - creating a versatile layout with potential for multi-generational living or income-producing possibilities (buyer to verify). Basement entry from kitchen; basement includes washer and dryer hookups, hot water heater, and HVAC system, with space that may be finished to expand usable square footage or provide additional storage.
