Functional layout with two bedrooms upstairs and one on the main level. Separate designated living area and dining room and ample storage and laundry in the basement. Many updates include New Roof, New Siding, New A/C, New Garage Door, updated kitchen, remodeled primary bathroom, and built-in closets.
