About this home

Welcome home to this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhome, thoughtfully updated inside and out and set on a quiet cul-de-sac with parking for six cars. Inside, new flooring, paint and doors set a fresh tone throughout. The kitchen features granite countertops, a pantry, and 36-inch cabinets with soft-close doors and drawers. Stainless steel appliances include a dishwasher plus a new microwave, stove, and refrigerator with water and ice. Both bathrooms have been newly finished. Outdoor living is equally impressive: a new roof, deck, patio, large shed, and stone-wall hardscaping. Systems are updated as well, with new central air, a tankless water heater, and a gas heater. City water and sewer are in place. Move-in ready, low-maintenance, and designed for everyday comfort—this home is ready for its next owner.
