About This Home

Looking for a completely remodeled 1.5 story, 3 bedroom place to call home? Have a look at this property! As you enter this home you are greeted by an open staircase and living room with a built-in fireplace to cozy up to on a chilly winter day! As you proceed through the house you enter an awesome kitchen complete with an abundance of cabinets and an island for the cook or baker to prep their foods! The spacious dining area is great for entertaining if that is your gig! Off the dining area is a 3/4 bath with a shower, spacious laundry area with a sink & plenty of storage, and a back exit located close to the detached garage, and there is a smaller room that can be used as a bedroom or an excellent office space. As you head for the second floor you walk up an open stair case to another bedroom and an ensuite bedroom with a large private bathroom boosting a large tub/shower combo. The property is located on a nice sized corner lot with a large 2 car garage with a ton of parking space on the drive way. There is a nice storage/garden shed located in the back as well as alley access to the property. When we mentioned completely remodeled that meant all new electrical, plumbing, walls, ceilings, siding, roof, doors, windows, furnace, AC, fixtures, and much more. this home is truly ready to move into! Don't miss your chance and feel regret!!
