About This Home

As of October 2022

This house is like walking on sunshine, and don’t it feel good! Newly renovated and filled with a brightness that shines a light on your daily routine. The floorplan combines the best features of open concept living while still offering complete privacy to each of the bedrooms. A cook’s dream with a commercial range, ample counter space, a breakfast bar, and a wine refrigerator; the kitchen begs to entertain. The two remodeled baths feel fresh and dazzling. The large basement and one-car garage give you room for a spacious workshop, your hobbies, and camping/sports equipment. The low-maintenance yard is perfect for picnics and parties. The brilliance doesn’t stop at the end of the property. This location has a Walkscore.com of 96, a “walker’s paradise”. Hey, alright now. And don't it feel good!
