About This Home

As of November 2021

You must see this beautiful single in Wilson School District! Located in the desirable subdivision of Lincoln Park on a lovely tree-lined street, this great home will check all your boxes! Entering by way of the welcoming front porch, you will love the curb appeal! The inside is equally impressive with original hardwood floors, detailed wood trim, bright modern decor, and a nice flowing layout. The living room is spacious with a large picture window to let in all of the natural light, as well as a gas fireplace to keep you warm and cozy. The formal dining room boasts a built-in corner cabinet, picture frame molding, updated lighting, and a sliding glass door to the large outdoor deck. Then there is the updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, new granite countertops, tile backsplash, and new flooring! Upstairs you will find three nicely sized bedrooms, all with hardwood flooring, ceiling fans, and plenty of closet space, as well as an updated full bathroom with a Corian countertop, and stylish accent wall. There is even a walkup attic that can be used for storage or a potential 4th bedroom. Downstairs, there is a partially finished area for extra living space and a half bath. This home also has a one-car garage, but it is currently being used for storage. Outside you will love the huge two-tiered deck that is perfect for entertaining, as well as the slate patio and firepit area. So schedule your showing today or come to our open house on Sunday, October 17th, from 11am to 1pm! **All highest and best offers are due by Monday, October 18th, by 6pm.**
