About this home

Well loved home is situated on a beautiful treed lot on almost a half acre. All on one easy level you'll find 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The large kitchen with breakfast eating area opens to the Great Room which shares a dual sided fireplace with the dining room. Enjoy the outdoors from the private back deck. The Primary bedroom is nicely separated from the other 3 bedrooms. Partial basement is currently unfinished but has roughed in plumbing for full bath. Great entertaining flow and guests will appreciate the spacious driveway offering lots of off street parking. Wonderful alternative to condo living!
