Plenty of windows on the first floor fill the house with natural light each with custom adjustable cordless shades. The eat-in kitchen has plenty of cabinet and counter space with a new backsplash making it functional and stylish. Downstairs is a finished basement adding more living space along with a workshop and additional storage area. Upstairs are three bedrooms each with ample closet space and an updated full bathroom. A large attic space sits above it all giving you ample storage and easy access when needed. The driveway is electric vehicle ready with a power source for convenience.
