About this House

COMPLETELY REMODELED INSIDE AND OUT! Everything has been tastefully renovated from top to bottom. Feel like you're walking into a HGTV newly renovated home with absolutely nothing to do. .. pure PERFECTION! On the main level you're welcomed by gleaming hardwood floors and new windows throughout. The kitchen was thoughtfully designed and features new soft close cabinets, quartz countertops and backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, a vent hood, and brass hardware. Recessed lighting throughout the kitchen and living room. The new fully finished basement features ample recessed lighting, Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring, and a new egress window offers tons of natural light and allows for a family room, or a legal 4th bedroom. The basement bathroom is anything but, just a basement bathroom. This full bath is a spa-like retreat and features a luxurious walk-in shower with on-trend stacked-stone tile paired with Artisan glass tile. Timeless porcelain tile floors accent the white cultured marble vanity and brushed nickel fixtures. Laundry will no longer be a chore, but rather a delight in this new oversized laundry room that features a brand-new, full-sized washer and dryer, Florentina ceramic tile and added shelving. Professional landscaping on the front and rear backyard features new sod, mulch, plants and shrubs. Now that we've covered the "sexy" updates, let's discuss all the major systems that have all been replaced: Roof (November 2020), AC Unit (January 2021), Water Heater (2024), Upgraded Electrical (2023), French Drain and Sump Pump (2023), Windows (January 2021).

No smoking allowed. Renter covers utilities, internet, and lawn care.

Community events nearly every weekend in the Spring, Summer, and early Fall. The Del Ray Farmers Market is every Saturday from 8-12 pm. Love this great neighborhood. "
