About This Home
As of April 2025This is a "must see" property. EXCEPTIONALLY well-maintained single level home with significant upgrades inside and out. Home includes a bonus bedroom, and a small home office. The living room includes a brick (wood burning) fireplace. Here are just some of the many upgrades: Luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, plush carpeting in two of the bedrooms. Recessed lighting with dimmers, new HVAC air handler and condenser (purchased in 2024) to comfortably heat, cool, and ventilate the home, noise reducing vinyl windows and sliding glass door for access to covered back patio. Master Bedroom window was replaced with a new French door for a private entrance which opens to a gated garden area. It has it's own dedicated mini-split A/C and heater combo. This bedroom can also be used for guest quarters, or as a separate rental space. New soft close kitchen cabinets and quartz counters, new vanities and sinks in both bathrooms. Hallway bath has a new tile shower. The backyard boasts a 100 sq. ft. windowed "garden house" currently furnished with a sofa, desk, and TV for relaxation. There are new rain gutters throughout, and the garage is wired for Electric Vehicle charging. It's absolutely wonderful here! Come take a look!
