About This Home

As of June 2023

Nestled in the quiet neighborhood of Sunset View, is a tastefully renovated brick rancher on a half-acre that backs to farmland. From the shiplap wall behind the white fireplace, to the giant, open luxury kitchen and brand new primary bath, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath has so many upgrades you won’t want to miss!

Bedrooms are large and there is plenty of storage around the home. The sizable hall bath boasts a double vanity. New engineered hardwood throughout main floor. The huge finished basement has its own half bath adjacent to the large family room with wood stove. You’ll also find a large, open laundry area, additional storage and access to the attached garage in the lower level.

The backyard, with views of the neighboring farm, is newly fenced and features mature trees. Additional upgrades to the home outside include a new roof and new deck that was built for entertaining. You’ll be able to have plenty of guests over, as the driveway can accommodate several cars.

Located near commuter routes and the conveniences of Westminster, you’ll have the best of everything close by!
