Cute and clean, this 3 bedroom story and half home was cared for by its sellers, for as long as the Assessor has record! Imagine the pride of ownership this home demonstrates. Efficient eat-in kitchen with a wall oven, cook-top, microwave and fridge, plus dishwasher. There’s a darling front room, perfect for family fun or TV viewing, with windows offering light from two directions. Two bedrooms on the main feature hardwood floors, and there’s a hall bath with tub. Guess what? We found hardwood floors under the carpet! A large 3rd bedroom located upstairs has a nice sized closet and extra storage. There’s even a half bath with a window too. The lower level has a shower-so call “dibs” on that, for the 3rd BR occupant. The lower level also has some finish with a gas fireplace! Washer and Dryer stay, and there’s extra cabinets and a sink in this handy laundry/shower room! One car detached garage is in good shape and the yard is fenced. Big deck off the kitchen too! This is an Estate sale, so no seller’s disclosure, the home is being sold “As Is. ”
