Gorgeous wood floors and large baseboards are in the main living area, which includes the living room and dining room. Vaulted ceilings feature beautiful wood beams, recessed lighting, and a ceiling fan. The kitchen has plenty of counter and cabinetry space as well as updated stainless-steel appliances. Through the kitchen, you’ll find a powder room, mud room, and the laundry area, with access to the back deck. The primary bedroom features the same wood floors and has room for office space if needed. The full bathroom has been recently updated with beautiful Mercer Tile in the shower and an updated vanity, flooring and fixtures. Head outside to the recently installed deck and you’ll see there is plenty of room for outdoor entertaining. The expansive driveway allows for plenty of parking as well.
A UV filtration system and water softener have been installed, interior recently painted. Basement vapor barrier installed, and old oil tank removed from basement. Come envision yourself in this charming home and schedule a showing today!
