Wow! This home feels brand new but without the brand new price tag. Gutted down to the studs, the owners extensively remodeled this home with new drywall, kitchen with maple cabinetry, solid surface counter tops and new appliances. Other updates include flooring, roof, AC, bathroom, new driveway and back patio, light fixtures and newer windows.
