Charming house, located in a quiet Merle Hay neighborhood. You will love the updates that have been done to the house from the tiled bathroom, the arched living room entrance, quality pergo laminate flooring and freshly painted both on the inside and out. Lots of natural light throughout the rooms in the house. New light and plumbing fixtures installed, and a new quartz kitchen countertop! Basement is accessible through the exterior back only where the laundry is. Plenty of off street parking and lots of open yard space. This house is one you don't want to miss!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
