About This Home
As of March 2023This remarkably well-maintained contemporary style setting is the chance of a lifetime to buy a lovely starter house at today's entry-level price point. Find happiness in this cozy home that has been well kept and sits on a totally private 1.3 lot. Some features include a large living room with half cathedral-style ceilings, plenty of natural light, a wood-burning fireplace, and access to a newly constructed back deck. The main level has been freshly painted and is surrounded by gleaming hardwood floors. Fully complete with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, as well as a finished basement with a bonus room for all the additional space you could ever need. The back porch leads out to an enormous private yard, nicely landscaped and perfect for any occasion. The paved driveway holds off-street parking for 10+ vehicles. The location is secluded but with excellent admittance to RT.24, RT.140, I-495, and I-195.
