This thoughtfully maintained home blends comfort, efficiency, and everyday convenience in a welcoming in-town setting. Tucked into a quiet, friendly neighborhood just two blocks from the elementary and middle schools-and a short stroll to the local bakery and library-it offers both charm and accessibility. Energy-efficient upgrades, including heat pumps, improved insulation, and a transferable solar co-op contract, help keep utility costs low and predictable. Inside, the kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring a custom-built butcherblock counter-perfect for morning coffee or casual conversation while meals come together. The spacious dining room is ideal for everything from weeknight dinners to larger gatherings. A flexible first-floor bonus room makes a great home office, music room, or creative space, and flows easily into the bright, cheerful living room. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms, including a generously sized primary. One bedroom features a charming peaked ceiling with skylights, while another offers a cozy feel with a hand-painted mural by a local artist. A full bath with convenient linen storage completes the second floor. Outside, enjoy a manageable yard with space to garden and a private deck for relaxing-without the upkeep of a larger lot. A small garage provides excellent storage and can accommodate a compact vehicle. With major systems meticulously updated and cared for, this home offers peace of mind and the perfect opportunity to move right in and make it your own.
