Absolutely move-in ready. All the hard work has been done! Enjoy an entirely new kitchen, bathroom, windows, all new paint, along with Real Hardwood floors and plenty of partially finished area in the dry basement including a 4th non-conforming bedroom. Don't miss the fully opened upstairs that is a great bedroom or area for a studio. Built in dressers and plenty of storage will allow you to keep things nice and tidy. Enjoy the evenings on a huge front deck overlooking a nice large front yard, and a great back yard with garden area and the perfect spot for a fire pit. All this surrounded by homes that are just as nice as this one, assuring you a comfortable nest to call your own. Just minutes from so much. Estimated basement finish is per owner.
