Why is this the best house in this price range, you may be asking yourself. Well here is exactly why! Absolutely everything in this house is brand new! The windows, plumbing, electric, insulation (foam insulation in the attic AND crawl space to help save on the utilities), roof, ceilings, floors, fixtures, drywall…. Should I go on??? The only thing not replaced was the foundation, brick siding, and framing. The thoughtfully designed kitchen includes new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops that extend to the backsplash, a stainless farmhouse sink for even the largest pots and pans, and plentiful storage in the white cabinetry. The coffered-like ceilings create a natural distinction between the kitchen and great room, with plentiful space for a dining room and living area to create a space you love. A large primary bedroom with updated en suite bathroom with dual vanity and walk in shower with custom tiling awaits as you continue through the home. The two spacious secondary bedrooms share a bathroom with another dual vanity. The carport offers covered parking and a storage room for everything you may need while enjoying the outdoors on this large corner lot. This house has all the features of new construction while still enjoying the benefits of an established home with mature landscaping and surroundings.
