Property Description

Wonderful 1.5 story full of updates, this home offers a great layout with space in all the right places. This home has seen a long list of updates, so the heavy lifting is already done for you. In 2025, the furnace and A/C were replaced and the upstairs bathroom was fully remodeled with LVP flooring, fresh paint, new vanity, baseboards, and popcorn ceilings removed. The roof, gutters, and gutter covers on both the house and garage were all replaced in 2024. Hardwood floors were refinished in 2023, along with a new dishwasher and updated vinyl windows in the primary and main floor bedroom. Additional improvements include LVP flooring and baseboards on the main level (2021), new carpet on the stairs and second floor (2022), and updated kitchen drain line and vent (2022). The main level features a large living room, two bedrooms with hardwood floors, and a ¾ bath.Upstairs, you?ll find two more comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, giving everyone their own space. The lower level adds even more flexibility with a rec room area, wet bar, and plenty of storage. Just off the nice sized kitchen,the enclosed back porch is a standout feature and a great extension of the living space, in addition there is a 10 foot by 16 foot front concrete patio, no shortage of outdoor space here! Step out onto the deck and enjoy the backyard, an easy spot for relaxing or entertaining. The oversized 20x24 two-car garage gives you plenty of room for vehicles, tools, or hobbies.
