About this House

This is a great house, there is much more house here than the assessor's square footage would indicate. It would seem that a large livingroom/dining room was divided into two rooms, note this as you go in the entry. There are three bedrooms and two bonus rooms in the house, there is an eat in kitchen with nice cabinets that has been updated, it has a washer dryer closet in the kitchen so everything is convenient in the heart of the house. There is a master bedroom with its own bath at the back of the house and this is really a master suite as there is an additional sitting room with no closet attached to it, could be a home office, a nursery, perhaps a den. The lot is nice, very large and lays out well, there is a covered patio and an additional storage shed. The garage has been converted to a full one bedroom unit, with livingroom/kitchen, a small bonus room, a 3/4 bath and good sized closet off the bedroom, it has its own private entrance.Yard is fenced and there is parking inside.
