About This Home
As of April 2023Excellent equity opportunity in this house! The very expensive updates have been done: siding, windows, exterior doors and the roof were all replaced in 2013. Interior could use fresh paint and various minor cosmetic updates. When you walk in the front door there s a small foyer with hall closet. Large living room with durable laminate wood floors that continue to the formal dining room. The eat in kitchen is efficient and includes a dishwasher. Half bath in the hallway. Upstairs you ll find 3 bedrooms. Two guest bedrooms are both good sized and share a full bathroom. The master bedroom is large with knock down ceiling texture (new in 2018) with a walk in closet, and master bath with a tile shower. New carpet in the finished walkout basement (2018). Lower level laundry, washer dryer included. Two car detached garage. The deck was re-built in 2008. Furnace and AC are about 6 years old. The backyard is mostly trees and garage so not much yard to mow. Call an agent to schedule a tour.
