## Description

### Agent Description
This storybook home blends timeless charm with fresh updates. Hardwood floors welcome you in and set the tone for the warm spaces throughout. The living room opens to the dining room, with the kitchen just beyond. Many updates have been made, including new carpet, fresh paint, and a newly added first-floor bathroom. A main-floor bedroom completes this level. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full bath. Practical updates add peace of mind: new roof and gutters with guards (Sept 24), rebuilt front porch, and refreshed landscaping. Solid, charming, and move-in ready - this home has been well cared for from top to bottom.
