$210,000
3 bed 1.5 bath and 3-CAR GARAGE!
ADORABLE HOME with an oversized 3-car garage, major updates, and move-in ready — this home offers a lot at a great price! This charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home features an inviting layout and numerous improvements throughout. One of the biggest highlights is the 3-car garage, providing plenty of space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a workshop. One stall is fully insulated and drywalled, making it especially useful for year-round projects or additional workspace.
Inside, the home has been well updated and maintained.
The basement features newer walls, a new sump pump, and two egress windows that were added when the walls were replaced. Laundry is currently located in the lower level, but the main-floor half bath previously housed the laundry and could potentially be converted back for use with a stackable washer and dryer. Additional updates include new siding in 2024, plus a new roof, HVAC system, and water heater in 2020. A water filtration system is also in place.
Kitchen has concrete counter-tops and stainless steel appliances that stay. The dining area has a charming built in corner bench. There is a good size half bath on the main level for convenience.
Three bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tile shower upstairs.

Out back, enjoy the added bonus of open green space directly behind the property, creating a more spacious and peaceful backdrop. With its updated mechanicals, flexible living space, exceptional garage, and attractive price point, this home offers features that can be hard to find.

A bittersweet closing day! ❤️🏡

This wonderful client was referred to me by a dear friend, and I feel so grateful that she trusted me to help her mom through such an emotional transition.

After more than 30 years, she said goodbye to the home where she raised her three children and created a lifetime of memories. While leaving a home she loved was not easy, she is beginning an exciting new chapter in a beautiful, brand-new townhome!

She will now enjoy maintenance-free living with lawn care and snow removal taken care of—and, best of all, she will be closer to town and her grandkids. 💕

Congratulations on your new home and this fresh beginning! I am truly honored to have been part of your journey. 🔑✨

Thinking of selling? Fresh paint is one of the most affordable ways to get your home sold faster and for more money. According to a survey Zillow did, these are some trending colors (YES COLOR, not just WHITE!) that will help you keep a little bit more $$ in your pocket.
Personally I still like off-whites for your base color and adding in color with furnishings and decor, but I don't mind some of these colors.

A Zillow survey reveals the best paint colors to sell a house to attract more prospective buyers — and potenially higher offers.
