About this House

This truly is a home you have to see as the pictures do not do justice to the quality and attention to detail that the sellers have put into the home since fully gutting and renovating it in 2015! You’ll love the main living area with a well thought out mix of luxury vinyl and carpet (2015), all flowing easily between living room, kitchen (2015), and dining area and allowing entrances to garage, deck and main door! The main floor has a full bath (2015) with walk-in shower, two bedrooms, including a master with two closets and private half bathroom! Don’t forget the first floor laundry hookups! The basement is a great space for fitness, rec-room, and bedroom space boasting another half bath and egress window! The outdoor living is NOT to be missed, having a spacious composite deck (2020), stone patio (2023), storage shed (siding 2021), and is fully fenced (2020)! The backyard can also be surveyed from the peaceful sunroom accessed from the home and patio! Updates from 2015 include HVAC, HWH, electrical wiring and panel, insulation, drywall, flooring, kitchen (cabinets, appliances, counters, etc). I need to say it again, this is one you must see in person!!

    "This is a nice neighborhood, people keep to themselves but wave hello when walking past. Not a lot of issues with loud people or disruptive noise. I’ve felt comfortable knocking on a neighbor’s door when necessary. People maintain their properties well, I feel safe walking around, and there are frequently kids playing outside or people walking their dogs. I feel safe letting my children play outside. "
