The second floor offers three bedrooms with an updated full bath. The finished third floor offers another bedroom with full bath. The lower level has a deep pour, wonderful recreation room with a fireplace, in addition to the original part of the basement. Some of the more recent updates include: -newer hardwood floors in the great room and rest of hardwood have been refinished, -recreation room with newer flooring, -powder room and second floor bath -chimney flue with new ceramic logs, -hard wired home for network, -tankless hot water heater, - electrical box, -foam insulation in attic eaves, -sewer clean out, - Roof new in 2023 as well as exterior painting. Presently, the owners use one of the bedrooms on the second floor as the primary, however, the third floor could be used as the primary as well with its own private bath. LOCATION, SPACE, UPDATES all make this the ONE! If expansion is desired, the cathedral ceiling above the great room could be lowered and a primary suite addition off the back of the second floor.
