About This Home
As of February 2018A perfect blend of convenient location, perfect light, mature landscaping and a very well cared for home are yours at last. We have an owned solar power system which provides all the power needed since the installation 3 years ago. The roof is recent, as is all the paint. The oak floors were just redone; they reflect the streams of morning light to brighten everyone's mood. The kitchen, small deck and breakfast nook all enjoy great morning light to get the day started well. While the house is officially a 2 bedroom, it lives like a roomy 3 bedroom. The upstairs office makes a great nursery or game room. The family room with great separation, a 1/2 bath, and loads of closet space is a great guest room, or space for a couple of teens. The location is awesome, with no traffic yet a very comfortable walk to town, to the Nick or to the restaurant scene. This is a true gem. Thanks for all the interest and the multiple offers.
