About This Home

As of September 2020

Great things really do come in small packages. That's especially true with this beautifully updated home. Located on a unique corner lot, it features a hideaway section of the backyard that's perfect for cookouts or just relaxing with a good book. The inner-chef in you will love the remodeled kitchen, with stylish Milzen cabinetry, granite counters, an upgraded GE gas range & steam-clean oven, sensor-cook microwave, dishwasher, matching refrigerator and a stylish natural stone backsplash. The bathroom is updated as well, & includes a natural stone shower with glass doors and tile flooring. There's designer laminate flooring in the living area and ceiling fans with lights in the living room & both bedrooms. If that's not enough, how about paneled interior doors, vinyl windows with wood casings or decorator window shutters? The roof is just a few years old and along with the hideaway section of the yard, there's also a grassy area, newer retaining walls and even terraced planting beds.
