About This Home

As of July 2020

This is a spacious, bright and beautiful townhouse on Playground Drive. Loads of street parking, no homes across street because there's a playground there. It's a front-to-back split, and the floor plan is very convenient and comfortable. Covered carport in rear off a quiet alley, plus a covered patio. There's also a patio in the front of the house. Central Air, new Lennox gas furnace, new Rheem gas HW heater. Attic for storage and is also used now as a play area. The family room on lower level, down a few steps from the entry, is daylight in front, has a wall of closet storage, and is carpeted. Middle room has tile on floor, walls & ceiling, and it used to be Jacuzzi room. Now is a laundry, workout area and could be office/den/whatever. Full bath on lower level, plus a small workshop. All bedrooms are nice-sized, MBR has a huge closet. Hardwood floors throughout and the floors are very nice. Ceiling fans, newer storm door in front. This home is clean and appealing, bright and cheery, and needs no work. Modern remodeled bath, very nice kitchen with door to rear covered patio. You can watch the July fireworks in field/playground across the street. Great location, one-way street, the street is traffic-safe and is in a peaceful neighborhood.
