Property Description
Welcome to 961 Mid Allen Road—a thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offering 766 heated square feet filled with warmth, light, and functionality. From the moment you step onto the covered front porch, you'll feel the character and cozy cottage charm this home carries—perfect for morning coffee, quiet evenings, and everything in between.
Inside, abundant natural light pours through updated windows, highlighting fresh flooring (2026) and new carpet (2026) that give the home a clean, refreshed feel. The layout lives larger than expected, with smart storage throughout and a comfortable, inviting flow that makes everyday living easy.
Just off the main living space, a sunroom provides the perfect flex area—ideal for a home office, reading nook, or plant-filled retreat. Toward the back, an enclosed (unheated) porch offers even more bonus space, while the newly added rear deck (Spring 2025) creates a seamless transition to outdoor living.
Step outside and you'll find what truly sets this property apart—a flat, fenced yard just under half an acre, beautifully landscaped with established blooms including daffodils, lilies, iris, hostas, rose bushes, forsythia, and a stunning magnolia tree. It's the kind of setting that perfectly complements the home's cottage feel—peaceful, private, and full of charm.
Additional features include:
• HVAC (2024)
• Water heater (2026)
• Stove (2022), Refrigerator (2026)
• Updated windows (2025 – front, right side & porch)
• Crawlspace with vapor barrier
• Recently pumped septic (2026, located to right of deck)
• One-car carport & storage shed

Location is key—and this one delivers. Enjoy quick access just 1.3 miles to the interstate and only 1.6 miles to everyday conveniences like shopping, dining, and coffee.
