Beautiful original hardwoods are hiding beneath the carpet, and one day you might decide to unearth them! 

From here, the layout seamlessly unfolds into the dining area and adjacent kitchen. In the kitchen, original birch cabinets match the original birch doors and trim you’ll find in the rest of the home. The kitchen shows off a smart layout where everything you might need is easily within reach, and you’ll find opportunity to spruce up this space with your own style if you desire! Embrace vintage elements, give the kitchen a complete modern makeover, or find a charming balance somewhere in the middle. The garden window above the kitchen sink is another highlight of the space—display your favorite plants and grow fresh herbs to use in homemade dishes here! 

This home’s 1,110-square-foot layout also includes 3 bedrooms, and if you have an extra room or 2, a whole world of potential opens up! You can finally create that home office, home gym, or hobby/craft room you’ve been dreaming about. There’s also a fantastic separate workshop with power and heat, providing even more space for projects and hobbies. 2 additional sheds offer ample storage room. 

The backyard is brimming with outdoor beauty and enjoyment as well—no matter rain or shine, you can enjoy the fresh air without having to leave the wonderful comfort of home. A private gazebo is perfect for dining and visiting with guests, and you can relax and rejuvenate in the hot tub on the covered patio. Whether you’re entertaining guests or simply basking in the peace and quiet, you can admire the lush lawn and established greenery that surrounds. Home-sweet-home awaits!
