Discover exceptional value in this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath single-family home nestled in a peaceful neighborhood close to campus. This tastefully remodeled 100-year-old farmhouse seamlessly blends original character with modern conveniences, making it a perfect family home or investment opportunity. Recent updates elevate this property to a new standard, featuring all new thermal windows for enhanced energy efficiency, as well as a stunning brand-new craftsman-style kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Abundant storage is provided by shaker-style cabinetry, paired with a practical mudroom just off the back door for added convenience. Enjoy the luxury of two newly renovated full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combo upstairs and a stylish shower-only option on the main level.
