To the rear, the family room features a brick fireplace and French doors that lead to an outstanding rear patio and very private back yard. Upstairs, you will find four ample bedrooms, once again highlighted by hardwood flooring. The lower level is nicely finished and is perfect for homework, crafts, and games. Outside, the yard features hardscaping that leads to a flat play area surrounded by trees. Some of the updates in this fine home include updated baths, new roof and septic system, as well as the HVAC. Community Pool membership is included. This must-see home feeds the new North Star Elementary School.
