Wonderful location for this proud Beaverdale home that is located just minutes to Ashby, Beaverdale, and Witmer Parks. This 1 ½ Story home has 3 Bedrooms and 2 baths (with 2 showers) and over 1800 Sq Ft finished. Tons of natural light pour in on the Hardwood Floors in the Living Room, and you'll love the Open Spaces this layout offers. The Updated Kitchen features great countertop space, tile flooring and backsplash, newer appliances that are included, and the cabinets are all made from Iowa grown woods. The Basement has been partially finished to include 2 more rooms that would be great for an office, hobby room, or storage. Now, there is still a large entertainment room that could be easily finished if needed for 2nd Family Room. Home has also been re-wired, includes some updated mechanicals, and the much desired 2 car garage. Let us know if you want us to send you the Video Tour for a better feel.
