This adorable 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has recently been refreshed. Walking through the front door you will be greeted by an open floor plan and vaulted ceilings. You'll be delighted to see the interior of this home has been completely painted. This home features beautiful new flooring and baseboards throughout. The kitchen is spacious enough for the chef of the house and with an added bonus you'll find all cabinets in the home have recently been painted a crisp white! Into the primary bedroom you'll find privacy away from the other two bedrooms with a sliding glass door for access to the back yard where you'll have plenty of room for hosting and enough space for future added RV access.
