About This Home

As of October 2021

Lucky- this deal fell apart. The buyer got cold feet the day after signing the contract. Won't last long!! This cute Cape Cod, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath home sits on over 1/3 of an acre and is situated just outside of the Elsmere town limits. This home sits off the highway and offers plenty of space to relax and entertain. The features of the home include an open first floor, a newer kitchen with newer cabinets (2017), granite counters, newer appliances (2017), recessed lighting, and a newer refrigerator (2017). The main level also includes an updated tiled bathroom, new sink, vanity, and toilet (2020). The upper level offers two bedrooms, new laminate flooring (2020), and a side entrance leading to the yard. This home also has a new furnace (2020), new AC Unit (2020), freshly painted (2021), a new shed (2020), and a side deck. This home is move-in ready and ready for the next owner.
