This 2400 square foot, single level home has so much to offer. The living room and dining room boast their original hardwood floors and are separated by a large wood-burning fireplace. Prefer a gas fireplace? No problem! The large bonus room features a gas fireplace surrounded by built-ins. On the other side of the eat-in kitchen you will find your sunroom. The sunroom doesn't have a fireplace but it does have a bunker underneath it. No, really. A bunker. The oversized primary bedroom has a roomy ensuite bathroom, a closet, a walk-in closet, and a closet for the walk-in closet. There's no other way to describe it. Down the hall you'll find two more bedrooms and a full bath with original tile and a good-sized linen closet. The workshop is accessible from the two-car carport and the large, fenced in backyard contains a storage shed. This home is in a great location on the north side and surrounded by great neighbors. Fireplaces, closets, and a bunker- what more could you ask for?
