About this home

Step into this beautifully reimagined 3-bedroom, 1-bath home where modern updates and cozy charm come together effortlessly. Sunlight dances across gorgeous LVP flooring in the main living spaces, while plush new carpet creates warm and restful retreats in each bedroom. The thoughtfully refreshed kitchen is equal parts stylish and inviting, featuring new countertops, appliances, and a stunning mosaic backsplash that adds the perfect touch of personality. New bedroom windows invite in the summer breeze, and updated light fixtures throughout give the home a bright, cheerful glow. Outside, the brand-new front deck is ready for morning coffee or evening sunsets, while the fully fenced backyard offers space to relax, garden, or entertain. Behind the scenes, you?ll appreciate the peace of mind that comes with newer mechanicals (2024) and a new basement support and waterproofing system with transferable warranty. The oversized 1-car garage shines with new siding and a new garage door installed in 2024. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated, making this move-in-ready gem as practical as it is enchanting. All information obtained from seller and public records.
