Description
Beautifully Remodeled! This 1 level two possibly 3 bed, one bath home has been almost completely redone this past year! The renovations include: Newer roof and gutters, some siding, new electrical panel (200), AC, windows, wiring, doors, flooring, kitchen cabinetry, countertops, back splash, paint, bathroom, and partial basement. The house opens into a lovely sunroom, and then into a spacious living and dining area. The back of the house is a very well done kitchen, laundry room, and a great work at home office space. Look at the pictures, but you really need to see this one!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from February 04, 2026
