About This Home
As of November 2025Modern and appealing, this beautifully updated home sits in a quaint country town and offers a perfect blend of comfort and style. Major renovations completed in 2016 include updated plumbing, electrical, siding, windows, roof, furnace, and central air. Since the remodel, a maintenance-free deck has been added along with new siding and a roof on the 12' x 24' backyard shed, plus a reverse osmosis water treatment system and water softener. The modern kitchen features an island, vaulted ceiling, sleek cabinetry, quality countertops, and updated appliances, with a sliding door leading to the spacious deck. The open floor plan offers a large living room that could easily accommodate a third bedroom with the addition of a wall. Or the walk up attic is ready to be finished. Upstairs, the impressive primary bedroom includes a 7' x 20' walk-in closet and an updated bath with shower, while the main-level bath is generously sized with a corner jetted tub and washer/dryer hookup. All appliances are included, making this home move-in ready and full of modern charm.
