Property Description

Wow… take a look at this Hilltop gem! Nestled on a comfortably sized lot along a low-traffic, dead-end street, this home welcomes you from the moment you arrive. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home with an oversized one-stall garage has been well loved and thoughtfully updated over the years, offering a wonderful combination of character, comfort, and functionality. The curb appeal immediately catches your attention with a paver-stone driveway, wide stamped-concrete walkway, and tasteful landscaping. Step through the front door and the warm, inviting feeling continues into a spacious living room featuring built-in bookshelves surrounding the fireplace and newer double-pane windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen offers more room than you might expect, with an open-air feel extending into the sunroom/dining area. A built-in hutch provides additional storage, while the kitchen is equipped with a gas range, garbage disposal, newer refrigerator, and new dishwasher. The main level is completed by two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom. Downstairs, the lower level provides an abundance of storage, with the existing shelving to remain with the property, along with a generous laundry area and utility room. The mechanical updates offer added peace of mind, including a furnace replaced in 2019, a 40-gallon water heater installed in 2022, an owned water softener, updated electrical, and 200-amp electrical service. The seller has also updated the plumbing and HVAC system and added central air during their ownership. Outside, the home continues to shine with durable steel siding, a partially fenced backyard with new fencing in 2026, multiple garden areas, a dedicated firepit space, and a small rear deck that connects conveniently to the oversized one-stall garage.
