A newer roof (2021), updated mechanicals, and prior kitchen and bath remodels allow for immediate enjoyment, with the opportunity to make additional updates over time. The main level offers warm, functional spaces including a chef’s kitchen, bright breakfast nook with view deck plumbed for BBQ, open dining area, living room, sunken sitting room with new carpet, and a light-filled library/office. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two updated baths, and a charming sun porch.

Includes 1,087 SF of basement space for storage or utility. A rare opportunity in South Hill to secure a view home with character, space, and value.
