This inviting home features two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms and has been thoughtfully remodeled with a spacious open-concept floor plan, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been remodeled with an Italian Tuscany style theme.

This versatile space could easily serve as a family room, media room, home office, fitness area, or recreation room. Comfort is ensured year-round with electric baseboard heat throughout the home. A recently installed Pittsburgh Huron wood-burning stove, complete with a blower system, efficiently heats the home while significantly reducing the need for supplemental electric heat. Following Hurricane Helene, the home experienced minor water seepage into the crawlspace through foundation vents due to exceptional storm runoff. The issue was addressed thoroughly and professionally. The vapor barrier was removed, the crawlspace was allowed to dry completely over a six-week period, and new floor insulation and a replacement vapor barrier along with mold fogging for prevention of any further mold. To further enhance drainage and protect the property, a substantial French drain system was added along the rear of the home. The drain measures approximately 24 inches deep and 16 inches wide, includes 4-inch perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, and is connected to the underground rear gutter drainage system. These improvements provide enhanced protection against future heavy rainfall events. Aside from the crawlspace seepage, the home remained structurally sound and weathered the storm well. Designed for convenient one-level living, all primary living areas are located on the main floor, making this home ideal for a variety of lifestyles. Additional storage is available in both the detached shed, laundry room, and an extra out building located at the bottom of the driveway.
