Inside and out, this home offers the best places to play, rest, gather and enjoy life. The kitchen is furnished with stainless appliances that all stay. It has a pantry for great storage and plenty of counterspace to cook and serve. The eating space exits to a relaxing deck that overlooks the yard and will hold a large gathering. The yard is an oasis of green and flowers. There's also three sheds for storage and another space for the lawn mower. Four bedrooms and two full baths complete the upstairs. The master bedroom can easily hold a king size bed. The lower level is large enough for a pool table, yet cozy enough to relax at the end of a long day. A gas stove provides extra heat in the winter if you need it, and a half bath saves you steps. . You can enjoy all this knowing the roof was new in 2024, furnace and air in 2017 and water heater new in 2022. The electrical was updated in 2022 and is equipped to handle a generator.
