## Description

### Agent Description
This charming 3-bedroom home, with an additional non-conforming bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms, offers a wonderful combination of original character, modern updates, and plenty of space inside and out!! Step inside and appreciate the beautiful woodwork, hardwood floors, and inviting layout. The kitchen features abundant cabinetry, updated flooring, and stainless-steel appliances, while the adjoining dining area offers a welcoming space for everyday meals and gatherings. One of the highlights of this home is the spacious living room addition completed in 2018, featuring beautiful wood beams, large windows overlooking the backyard, and a cozy gas fireplace. Upstairs, you'll find the bedrooms and a half bathroom. Several major improvements have been completed, including new shingles, central air, and exterior painting in 2023. Outside, the covered front porch, backyard deck, mature trees, and established landscaping create inviting spaces to enjoy the outdoors. And if garage space is on your wish list, this property delivers!! With four garage stalls between two detached buildings, including a garage built in 2021 with heat and air conditioning, there's plenty of room for vehicles, projects, hobbies, and storage. Full of character, thoughtfully updated, and offering garage space that's hard to find, this is a property you'll want to see for yourself!!!!
