About This Home
As of July 2025Call today to see this quality built, move-in ready home. The exterior walls are all 6 for added strength and insulation. New roof last year with a complete tear off, underground sprinkling with water from a well, heated garage with it's own furnace and central vac. Cozy family room with a new gas log, custom built cabinetry and wired for surround sound. The kitchen has new counter tops, sink, backsplash, refaced cabinets and the stove/refrigerator are included. You will be happy how well your future home has been taken care of. Not only is everything in immaculate condition inside, but the landscaping and garden area gives the same reflection of loving care these original owners have given to this home. The laundry and master bedroom are on the main floor, while the other 2 bedrooms are pstairs. Downstairs you will find a finished rec. room, office area and plenty of storage space.
