What a FANTASTIC find! Beautifully maintained 1.5 story home in walking distance to Merle Hay. The seller has loved this home for a long time, & can’t wait for you to. They have replaced the big ticket items-mechanicals, roof, windows, driveway, etc. All you need to do is move in & make it your own. Walk in to find an oversized family room w/ a picture window that allows the room to be light & airy. Kitchen has been remodeled to feature: new cabinets, countertops, tile flooring, new appliances, & French doors. French doors open to your spacious deck/back yard that is fenced. Yard faces East so you can enjoy your summer evenings outside. Main level bath was remodeled to feature tiled shower, updated vanity & tile floors. 2 bedrooms complete main level. Wait until you see the space upstairs- it would be an AMAZING master! Tall ceilings & loads of room to create the space of your dreams. Dry basement means you can use the partially finished area for living room, office, workout room.
