About this home

Great location and neighborhood sits this 2 bed, 1 bath bungalow on almost 1/3 acre fenced in lot that backs to Riley Park. You will be impressed the second you walk in the front door to see the bamboo hardwood floors, granite kitchen counters, and stainless steel appliances. New carpet professionally installed in both bedrooms and basement, newer vinyl windows, throughout, vinyl siding, and added insulation in the attic make this move in ready! Washer and dryer stay for your convenience as well.

This home perfectly blends the charm of an older home with many beautiful updates. Starting at the exterior is new vinyl siding, windows, newer roof and gutters. Furnace, a/c, water heater, electric, and plumbing updates were all done in '05. Gorgeous bamboo hardwood floors, white painted trim, new carpet in bedrooms and bath updates were recently completed. Plenty of wow-factor in the kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances and toffee maple cabinetry. In the lower level is versatile finished space with laundry and cabinets. It would make a great play room with carpeted floors and lots of storage. Large back yard borders Riley Park.
