As of October 2020You deserve this. Beautiful bungalow with all the right upgrades. Redone kitchen & baths provide the perfect blend of comfort and luxury needed for the growing family. Kitchen is open to the dining space and has unique patterned granite counters, 42inch cabinets and a well designed island to finish the space. Bathrooms have travertine tile and jacuzzi tubs while the 2nd floor provides a large bedroom sanctuary with ensuite. Hardwood floors flow throughout the 1st floor of the house while the tiled finished basement complements the house with bar, laundry room, bedroom and family room. The outside is on par with inside with a refinished deck and enough backyard space to still soak up the sun. Come and see The "Major". You will look and love it.
