Check out this completely remodeled ranch style home. Upgrades include high efficiency windows, newer roof, high efficiency furnace and air conditioning, HE washer and dryer on main level and 2nd washer and dryer in the basement. The kitchen features all oak cabinetry with new countertops and high end Samsung appliances rarely found in a home twice this price. You'll love the hardwood floors that are freshly professionally refinished. The basement offers tons of usable space and is painted for a clean and livable space perfect for a rec room. The large custom built deck and huge fully fenced back yard is a great place for the family and family pet to hang out and enjoy the fall weather. The garage is a near impossible find for this area and is 2 cars wide and 2 cars deep. You'll be able to have a work shop and still park your cars indoors this winter. Too many upgrades to mention makes this home a must see to appreciate.
