The updated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, light, pretty countertops, and a coffee bar for your morning routine. New stainless steel stove and dishwasher (2023) add a sleek, modern touch. Adjacent is a separate dining room-ideal for entertaining. Previously used as a third bedroom, this space could easily be converted back if needed.

Roof, windows, water heater, furnace, siding & downspouts (x-large) house & garage have all been replaced within the last 14 years. Updates include brand new stove (2023), dishwasher (2023), washer and dryer (2023), battery backup sump pump (2023) and new wood plank vinyl flooring installed in sunroom and basement (2023). The location is incredible.
