About this House

Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home featuring a full basement and an oversized 2-car garage with a dedicated workshop space. The interior has been thoughtfully refreshed with new paint, new carpet, and updated lighting. The kitchen includes new countertops, a modern sink, and stylish finishes, while the bathroom has been upgraded with a new vanity and bathtub surround. High ceilings throughout the home create an open and inviting atmosphere. Recent mechanical updates add to the value: the roof is approximately 10 years old, and the furnace and AC were replaced just 5-6 years ago. Mature landscaping surrounds the property, offering privacy and a picturesque setting, while the quiet backyard includes a spacious deckā€”an ideal spot to enjoy peaceful mornings or relaxing evenings. This move-in ready property blends modern updates with lasting quality. Schedule your showing today!
