Large Dining Room opens to the renovated eat-in Kitchen featuring quartz counters, tall cabinets, new appliances, tile backsplash, under counter lighting, tile floor, double window. Enjoy the year round Florida Room which was recently redone, overlooking the generous yard. Go up one level to three bedrooms and 2 redone baths.

The lower level features a huge Family Room w/ built-ins and bar and amazing laundry/storage room with outside entrance and powder room. This home had an oil tank failure in late 2015. Proper clean up was done and DNREC no-further-action letters have been received. Subsequently, the owners converted to natural gas and installed a top of the line Buderus heater. The home also boasts new windows, a 2 car garage, newer siding, roof, gutters, driveway, the list goes on and on! This is a property not to be missed!
