Country charm in the heart of town — without city taxes! This traditional 2-story home sits on over half an acre (.55 acres) with mature landscaping that gives it a spacious, tucked-away feel. You'll swear you're out in the country — yet you're right in the middle of everything, with easy access to shopping, dining, and major roads. But the real showstopper? Step out back and enjoy your own private in-ground pool — a rare find in this price range! Whether you're hosting summer gatherings or simply unwinding poolside, this home delivers the lifestyle you've been looking for. Inside, the home has been nicely maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years. Nearly all flooring is hardwood or luxury vinyl plank, with no carpet upstairs or down. All windows have been replaced in recent years, adding energy efficiency and a fresh look throughout. The kitchen has received a stylish refresh, featuring updated cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances — ready for everyday living or entertaining. Upstairs you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, offering flexibility for family, guests, or home office space. The unfinished basement/cellar provides approximately 500 sq ft of fantastic storage, and the sealed crawl space is a big plus for peace of mind.
