About This Home

This well-take-care of 2 bedroom, 2 full bath townhome is a much- sought-after ranch with a full basement and is move-in ready! McLaren townhouses circle around a large open green area with a generous number of guest parking spaces. You enter the home into the combined dining and living room with an attractive brick fireplace that has an easy-to use gas starter and gas logs to warm you in the winter. There is a deck, that you enter from a door right off of the living room, to enjoy during the summer months. This home has pristine hardwood flooring throughout except in the kitchen and laundry. You will love the charming breakfast area with a wall of windows that creates a bright but cozy space with a great view of the whole townhouse subdivision. The kitchen has ample countertop and cabinet space including an additional pantry closet. The primary bedroom suite includes an attached full bath and walk-in closet. The second full bath is across from the second bedroom. On hallway with the bedrooms, there is a conveniently located spacious laundry room. Then of course there is a full spacious basement that provides a space for multiple uses to fit your needs and has been plumbed for a basement bathroom if desired.
