This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is full of character inside and out, and it's been lovingly maintained. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the great curb appeal with beautiful landscaping featuring hydrangeas and rose bushes. Inside, you'll find fresh paint, updated bathrooms, and a recently serviced furnace-making the home feel comfortable and move-in ready. A newer roof adds peace of mind. The main level offers everything you need for everyday living, including two separate living spaces, a bedroom, and a convenient laundry room. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are tucked away, creating a cozy and private retreat. Character shines throughout with built-ins and an adorable screened-in porch that's perfect for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. The unfinished basement offers plenty of storage or room for future potential, and the detached two-car garage and spacious garden shed add even more convenience. All of this is set in a great location in the heart of Monticello, close to everything the town has to offer. This well-cared-for home is full of charm and ready to welcome its next owner.
