You will not want to miss out on this extensively renovated home! The new front door opens to a great room with a vaulted ceiling, new bay window and gorgeous hardwoods that flow into the dining room.

All of the interior doors have been replaced with six panel doors and extra storage space has been added above each of the bedroom closets. On the lower level you will find a family room with access to the mudroom/laundry room which has doors to both the attached garage and the rear yard.
