About This Home
As of August 2017There's no place like home and you will feel welcome from the moment you step inside this one! The spacious living room is highlighted by the brick hearth with wood burning insert and the large window keeps this room nice and bright throughout the year. The hardwood floors extend from the living room into the dining room and there are French doors that take you out to a beautiful two-tiered deck overlooking the rear yard. The kitchen has everything you need including a dishwasher and there is enough space for a small table or island. On the lower level you will find porcelain tile flooring in the family room, laundry area, and in the half bath. The over-sized two car garage, with electric opener is also on this level. Down a few more steps and there is a place for all of your storage needs in the unfinished basement. The upper level consists of three large bedrooms, all with hardwood flooring, and a huge bathroom with dual vanity. Most of the windows have been replaced in this home. If you are looking for space, both inside and out, please put this home on your list.
