The kitchen retains its original charm with beautifully maintained knotty pine cabinetry in exceptional condition — a perfect opportunity to update at your own pace while preserving its warmth and craftsmanship. The family room offers a second fireplace and larger entertaining space and includes a door to the expansive outdoors. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath are ready for renovation and customization, offering instant equity potential. Outside, enjoy a private backyard retreat complete with a paved patio and a built-in pizza oven, ideal for entertaining and outdoor gatherings. A detached 2-car garage adds functionality and extra storage.
