From 3 generous size bedrooms, sparkling clean full bath, and cozy kitchen/dining room combo, the first floor checks all the boxes! The huge full finished basement offers many possibilities and comes with a second full bath, separate laundry area, tons of storage space, electric fireplace, and a delightful bar! The back yard is terrific for entertaining with a gorgeous deck, above ground pool, and garage with an over head door that opens into the yard. The term "good bones" is an understatement for this gem. It will be here waiting for your personal touch ideas. But not long.
