Run, don't walk to see this updated and spacious home on two lots! Many attributes worth a mention include oversized bedrooms, main level laundry with storage, newer modern kitchen, stunning new engineered Nobelford Oak wood plank flooring in living room and front porch/mudroom! This home is extra special due to it having a huge addition, thus overhauling (drywall, electrical etc..) the entire home adding to its uniqueness by adding on to the basement with poured concrete foundation and walkout door to the back, as well as adding an extra-large bedroom upstairs. The basement has a nice workshop/hobby room or can be your future mancave with its separate entrance. Landscaping is easy with many low maintenance perennials. Carport and ALL APPLIANCES will stay! Subject to seller obtaining suitable housing (currently found and under contract)
