About this home

All the updating is done, but the Beaverdale character remains in this beautiful 1665 sq. ft. ranch w/ 3BRs, 1 3/4 baths. The home is surprisingly open & spacious with coved ceilings, a sprawling family room, FDR large enough for the largest holiday gatherings, and totally remodeled kitchen with all new countertops, appliances, flooring, fixtures, and refinished cabinetry. 3 nice sized bedrooms and fully remodeled full bath complete the main level. All flooring, carpet, plumbing & lighting fixtures, and paint are new! The partially finished basement includes great play area, storage, and a 3/4 bath. The exterior features extensive stonework, fresh paint, new roof, 3 season room, huge new patio, and a nearly half acre lot with spacious back yard & mature trees. This home shows beautifully - don't wait for a weekend showing because this one won't last. Call today!
