About This Home
As of March 2019After touring this beautiful brick cape in Bulldog country, you'll be saying "Sign me up!" This property won't require elbow grease since the homeowner has done an excellent job with both necessary upgrades and cosmetic updates throughout the house. This is also a please remove your shoes kind of home, which means it is imaculate! The property highlights start with fantastic curb appeal with an adorable front yard with a larger rear yard that has a covered rear patio and a detached garage. The garage will also be excellent for storage or you could rent it out to fund the annual family vacation! Inside the home are refinished hardwood floors in excellent condition, a large living room with a wood burning fireplace (yes, please), a lovely Dining Room, and a beautiful Kitchen with tile flooring. The Kitchen's a true knockout with newer shaker style cabinetry that has the elegant "soft close" features and nickel hardware. In the basement you'll find clean, unfinished storage space and a laundry tub for project cleanup. Looking for value-added items in your next home? This home has a wifi-ready security system, a repointed chimney, lots of new Simonton replacement windows, a newer roof, custom windows treatments, and a gas line for endless grilling outdoors! Checking out the second floor will be such a treat when you find extra large bedrooms and a gorgeous full bathroom that includes lots of upgrades like a walk-in tiled shower and a new glass-top vanity. The attic space of this property is also storage ready for your seasonal items. The only question you'll have after seeing this home will be, who gets the bedroom with the private rooftop deck above the patio? This charmer is going to be gone before Spring, so contact me right away for a personal tour!
