About this House

Our front entryway opens into the generously sized living room offering a gas fireplace & hardwood flooring plus a huge picture window showcasing the manicured front lawn, Most rooms throughout the main level have a nice detailed touch of crown molding installed in 2003, nicely re-designed main level bathroom has been updated with a Pella window in 2002, Shower/glass doors, tri-fold mirror, vanity & ceramic tile.

Oh & be sure to notice our pulldown blinds in the sunroom that can be used for privacy or blocking incoming sunrays. NOTE: The MLS listing refers to a 3rd bedroom home however that 3rd bedroom is currently being used as a Dining Room & offers a built-in cabinet.
