Two spacious bedrooms, a beautifully updated bathroom, full-size side-by-side laundry, and ceiling fans throughout complete this inviting single-level home. The private backyard offers endless possibilities with mature shade trees, a patio for outdoor dining and entertaining, room for gardens or a fire pit, plus a detached storage structure.
