About This Home

As of April 2021

This charming 3 bedroom west-end home has all the living and entertaining space needed indoors, and boasts a double lot with a fenced in yard for added space outdoors. Well maintained hardwood floors throughout the home were refinished less than 3 years ago, and the beautiful built-ins add storage. Laundry is on the main floor and close to the mud room, making it convenient after a day spent outside. The kitchen includes a new oven and a breakfast nook nearby. For those weekends you choose to entertain, the full dining room is next to the huge front living room. Plus the main floor has a family room for activities! When you need a cool place to relax, head down to the basement which was fully waterproofed in 2014 and includes a bar area. Huge 2 car garage has a workshop area and enclosed porch which leads out to the firepit and back deck, the heart of backyard entertaining. This home is ready for you to move in.
