About This Home

As of May 2021

Come inspect this one of a kind rare home. Seller has made many improvements. There is a double wide driveway in front. From the alley in the rear you can enter the 12x37 detached garage. There are doors on both ends of the garage. Enjoy summer bonfires in your own fire pit. High privacy fence and eight security cameras will keep things private and secure. A covered 14 foot stone wet bar with granite pillars that includes a double built in cooler is like going on vacation in your back yard. Walk in the front door to ceramic tile and recessed lighting in the kitchen and dining area. Enjoy cooking in your updated kitchen with a five burner gas range, a double sink and Corian countertops. The front loading washer/dryer is hidden in the pantry. A full bath and carpeted living and dining rooms make this level complete. Downstairs is a huge open recreation room open for your imagination. The lower level includes four windows and an outside entrance. There is easy access to service the gas boiler, water heater and sump pump. On the upper level there is a huge loft style bedroom. Once a 3 bedroom home. 1 on the main level and 2 upstairs. Consult your carpenter. Besides the closet there are five storage closets. Make this dream your home!
