About This Home
As of February 2021Excellent find in city. When you walk into this home you feel like you are walking into a new home. Even the not so evident things of a house were updated and everything was done right! All plumbing was replaced and the electric was re-wired. The main roof is six yrs new, front and rear porch roofs replaced this year. Tilt-in windows and new exterior doors. Oil burner is newer and efficient, only costing an average of 1,200/yr. Hardwood floors throughout have been redone. The first floor has a coat closet and the bedrooms have deep closets. The KITCHEN has Heffleger custom cabinets, granite counter w/inlaid sink, ceramic back splash, island and track lighting. The whole house has fresh paint. The basement is a true walk-out, is dry and could be easily made into a family room or extra bedroom. There is off-street parking with basement garage and AN EXTRA garage on separate deed that will be sold with property w/acceptable offer. Use this garage for extra income or storage. This deal can't be beat.
