About This Home

As of May 2025

This home has had a full transformation and it would be harder to figure out what was original vs what's new. You name it and it's been replaced. New framing, kitchen, baths, windows, drywall, siding, furnace, roof, insulation, you name it it's new. This is about as close to new construction you can get without the cost. The home has an open floor plan with LVP Flooring throughout. The kitchen has a butcher block counter and includes appliances. The First floor offers a full bath with laundry. No basement laundry in this home! The wood staircase commands your attention as you enter the home and leads to 2 bedrooms and a 3/4 bath on the 2nd floor. The basement has had spray foam insulation and shows all the new plumbing and electrical upgrades. The backyard is fully fenced and has a storage shed. Come take a look this home will qualify for all financing.
