Fantastic move in ready home in the heart of Beaverdale. Large kitchen with plenty of storage, gas stove and a cool tile ceiling. Tile floors in kitchen. There’s a side door to the driveway and a backdoor to the deck. The living room is quite large with beautiful wood floors. Don’t miss the half bath tucked under the stairs. Upstairs you’ll find a large master bedroom with good closet space. There’s a guest bedroom and a full bathroom. The assessor site shows this as 3 bedrooms, but the closet was removed in the 3rd and smallest room so technically it’s a two bedroom house with a flex room. Brand new carpet upstairs. Big detached two car garage and a nice sized backyard. Newer deck to enjoy your outdoor life. The basement is small (partial) and houses the mechanicals and laundry with room for a little storage. This is a great place waiting for someone to make it a home. Call a real estate agent today to schedule a tour before it’s gone.
