About This Home
As of March 2025What a wonderful value! This great 3-bedroom home is full of cozy charm. It has a brand new finished basement, and you'll love the updated kitchen with doors directly to the back patio. The main floor bathroom was completely remodeled in 2011 and has tile floor and a tile bathtub surround. Newer flooring awaits you throughout the home. The upper level bedroom features laminate floors, a sitting area and a nice 3/4 bath. The backyard is a delightful area for outdoor entertaining with a nice patio and a large fenced back yard with mature trees. This home features a newer furnace and air conditioner, newer windows, and seamless gutters. Situated in a great location convenient to shopping and the interstate, this is a great find!
