About This Home

As of April 2025

This home has been thoughtfully updated to blend style and function! The standout kitchen features freshly painted cabinets, additional upper cabinets for extra storage, new stainless-steel appliances, sleek new countertops, a modern sink, a newly built island with electrical, and a pantry for added convenience. Fresh paint brightens the bedrooms, while the updated bathroom includes a new sink, toilet, and mirror. The basement has been sealed and painted, with new electrical work and a faucet upgrade. Plus, there's a brand-new washer and dryer for benefit. Outside, newly planted evergreens enhance the front yard, while a newer driveway with a turnaround makes for easy exits. Window well covers provide extra safety, and security cameras at the front door, garage, and slider offer added peace of mind. Be sure to check the plat- the side yard extends past the fence, offering space to convert the garage into a two-car or expand the home. A homeowner and senior exemption will be applied for 2024 taxes. This well-maintained home is being sold AS-IS. See the Additional Info tab and private agent remarks for more details. Move-in ready with thoughtful upgrades throughout-come see it for yourself!
