Description

Welcome home to this bright and lovely ranch in the heart of Seneca! Seneca school district is just the start of what you will love about living in this completely updated and modern home on a quaint corner lot! You will first be welcomed by the fresh landscaping and custom flower boxes and shutters in the front of the house, and appreciate the fully fenced backyard with patio and custom sand box. Inside updates include: quartz countertops; new luxury vinyl plank wood flooring in the kitchen and dining room; new carpet in the living room and all bedrooms; and modern tile work in upstairs bathrooms. Warm and inviting colors blend seamlessly with modern light fixtures; bathrooms are worthy of a magazine! Beautiful touches like the board and batten accent wall in one of the oversized bedrooms is just one of the many touches that make this home stand out above the rest. Custom cabinetry and floating wood shelves anchor the open-concept dining/kitchen/living area. The basement offers a large family area (carpeted), and laundry room (with freshly painted concrete and utility sink) as well as endless storage, and a work bench for builders. After you fall in love with the home, make your way outside to the 2+ car garage (29'x23') that boasts custom access to the overhead storage. New HVAC in 2019; New Water Heater in 2022. Additional photos to be uploaded soon!
