About This Home

As of October 2019

HUGE Price Reduction! WOW! Is the only response there is... The attention to detail in this masterfully renovated home is on full display. Gorgeous resurfaced hardwoods greet you as you enter... The semi open concept allows the original fireplace to be the center of attention in the Living Room. The re-designed Kitchen took full advantage of the space and allowed for ample counter space & plenty of cabinets. The 1st floor also contains 2 bedrooms and 1 Bath. The 200SqFt Master is filled with natural light and comes with an additional 40SqFt Walk-In Closet. Off the Kitchen is a landing. If you go left that leads outside to your screened porch. From here you can enjoy your backyard or overlook the neighborhood and look at all the beautiful scenery If you go right you will go down and see everything the lower level has to offer A 3rd Bedroom with an oversized egress window that fills the room with a ton of light. 2 extra Media Rooms here allow the family to spread out. The lower level also contains a 2nd Full Bath, Laundry Room and an enormous Mud Room with covered access to the backyard! I dare you find this quality of work With this much house For this little price. Come check it out!!! You will be happy you did.
