About This Home
Don't miss out on this charming four-bedroom, two-bath turnkey property. This home's amazing features include over 2,000 square feet of living space and a newly renovated porch. Sip your coffee every morning while you're relaxing on the porch and enjoying the neighborhood view. Once inside, step onto the custom-painted staircase leading to the main living area. The second story offers a luxurious primary bedroom with two walk-in closets and three additional bedrooms. If you need to access the kitchen privately, no worries: there's a second stairwell that leads to the lower level where the kitchen is located. The main living space is well-lit, thanks to its large windows. And it's right next to the dining room, where you can have family and friends over for the holidays. The kitchen is fully equipped with white cabinets, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a farm sink. All the modern comforts of home are here: a full basement, a two-car detached garage, a spacious corner lot, and an updated HVAC system from 2020. The home also has new mechanicals (2024), a roof (2010), and windows (2010). The appliances were replaced in 2020. This home has everything you're looking for, and then some.
