The large, remodeled kitchen offers ample storage, newer appliances (including a warming drawer, smooth-top stove and hood), and a huge island that simplifies entertaining while still leaving room for a table. Indirect lighting adds a warm ambiance. The kitchen opens to a cozy 3-season porch with sliding doors, as well as a private, fenced-in backyard. The main floor includes a primary bedroom and full bathroom, and a second bedroom with an adjacent full bathroom that includes one of two laundry spaces in the home.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
