This West End beauty blends charm and modern convenience from the moment you arrive. Step onto the inviting covered porch and into a home that’s been thoughtfully updated throughout. The kitchen offers clean lines and function with solid-surface counters, stainless appliances, and custom cabinetry. The main floor bath is fully renovated, and the finished basement includes a legal 4th bedroom with egress—perfect for guests or a home office. Major improvements include a new roof (2023), updated plumbing and new drains, a newer water heater, exterior drain line, insulated crawl spaces, and a smart thermostat for energy efficiency. You'll also find peace of mind with a radon mitigation system (2022). Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard retreat with a stained concrete patio. This home is truly move-in ready—inside and out.

What’s not to love about this charming West-end home? Great curb appeal with a pristine covered front porch ready to enjoy. Many updates including remodeled kitchen with new cabinetry/Corian countertops/backsplash/stainless appliances, main floor bathroom full remodel, new siding/gutters/soffit/facia/windows, as well as tuck pointing to the exterior brickwork. The basement has been finished recently adding a true 4th bedroom with egress window. Outside you'll love the fenced yard with stained concrete patio and pergula. The 1 car garage is currently used as storage but could be converted back to a garage.
