About this home

The seller is moving to N Carolina. This home has many updates, including new roof, basement waterproofing (with warranty transferrable to the new buyer), and new stove in '10; and newer walk-in shower in the main bath. The 3rd bedroom is currently used as a main-level laundry, and there is also a fully functioning laundry area in the basement. The basement also has a large family room, nice workshop area, and a shower, stool, and sink next to the laundry area. A new sump was installed along with the waterproofing system. There are hardwood floors under the living room, dining room, and bedroom carpet.
