A Bedroom on the First Floor
The home has three bedrooms total, including one on the first floor. A first-floor bedroom is useful for anyone who wants to avoid the stairs, or who wants a guest room separate from the upstairs bedrooms.
Features:
- 3 bedrooms
- 1 bedroom on the first floor
An Eat-In Kitchen and Dining Room
There’s an eat-in kitchen as well as a separate dining room, so the house has two distinct spots to eat a meal. Both rooms are part of the home’s original first-floor layout.

- 0 half bathrooms
First-Floor Laundry Hookups
First-floor laundry hookups are already in place, so a washer and dryer wouldn’t need to go in the basement or upstairs.
