"Convenient" is the best word to describe this cute South Shores home. Located close to the park, schools and shopping, this adorable property has a layout that is practical and easy! The three bedrooms, one full bath and two half baths make for easy living! The large eat-in kitchen with newer appliances is immediately next to a work/laundry room off the 1.5 car attached garage. The three bedrooms are of good size, and all have hardwood flooring! Enjoy entertaining in your large living room or take your guests to the rear fenced yard to enjoy a lovely deck (freshly painted) and bricked patio. This house also has a full, unfinished basement (with a sink and a shower as well as a workshop area), perfect for storing those items that you just can't part with!!!! Additionally, new shed in rear yard stays with the house! Hardwood flooring, ceramic tile and some carpeting all add to the easy upkeep of the South Shores cutie!
