About This Home

Searching for that perfect "BETTER THAN NEW" home in an established neighborhood?? Look no further than this gorgeous 3br, 3ba property that rests on a large fenced-in corner lot w/ plenty of mature trees & shrubs.
Though the home sits on a quiet street (w/ corn fields directly across the street giving a country living feel!) it is located very close to all you need: schools, groceries, mall, fitness facilities, highway access, bars & entertainment.
Stepping inside, you will be greeted by the beautiful Quartzite Flooring that flows from the entryway thru the Formal Dining & Kitchen. The Wainscoting on the Dining Room walls will also give that warm feeling to all of those special family feasts.
Down in the Lower Level, cozy up in front of the home's 2nd fireplace in the Theater Room that is equipped w/ a Projector and 120" screen making movie night a blast! On the other wing of the basement is your own personal SAUNA!!
Some of the other countless features: Shed, newer Fence, hi-tech Fridge.
