About This Home

As of May 2025

Enjoy the benefits of a wonderful Parkview Heights location at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and only steps away from the entrance of Parkview Heights Park.
Many recent improvements to this home include new laminate flooring through the living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway; kitchen remodel (2013) with tasteful drawers and cabinets and quartz countertop; newer triple-paned windows; roof (2021); vinyl siding (2021) and radon mitigation device (2023).

On the main level we find an open floor through the living room, dining room and kitchen. Three bedrooms and 1-3/4 baths on the main level including a 3/4 bath dedicated to the primary bedroom. Sliding door off the dining room to a 10' x 12' wood deck which overlooks a generously sized backyard.

The lower level adds additional finished space with its spacious family room with gas fireplace, and a non-conforming 4th bedroom which currently serves as an additional playroom, but would otherwise serve as a nice home office, exercise room, or a hobby/craft room.
