This home has many updates to make maintenance and living very affordable. Windows, siding, roof have all been done in the past few years. Kitchen and bath have both been refreshed with flooring and countertops. There are hardwood floors in livingroom and bedrooms. The full basement has several areas. One is being used as an office with egress window. There is a larger room for a family area or some storage and then you have the laundry area. There is a large deck off the back of the kitchen that overlooks a large fenced in yard and an oversized detached garage. This home is located in a very convenient location. Easy access to freeway and interstate system.
