Updated kitchen includes custom wood cabinets, granite countertops and newer electrical. Living room is adorned with crown moulding and recessed lights. Hardwood floors throughout. Spacious bedrooms (3rd room has a closet and could be a bedroom) can accommodate a family or roommates. Pet and child-friendly backyard is perfect for summertime BBQs. Plant a garden and get your grill basket ready for delicious vegetable sides. Entertain friends and family on the wood deck with ample seating and a built-in fire pit. The kids can play on the play set including slide, situated on safe, cushioned mock "wood chips". Listen to the soothing sound of the waterfall in the custom Koi pond while watching July 4th fireworks at Wilson Park without leaving your backyard. But, if you want to be active, take a short walk to Wilson Park to partake in tennis, batting cages, horseshoe pits, running/walking track, baseball, soccer or children's playgrounds. During the holidays, take photos with Santa as he comes by on his sleigh.
