Fresh neutral paint and carpeting was installed in 2023. The interior offers an abundance of natural lighting and living space with a spacious family room with built in bookcases, a formal dining room, clean bright kitchen, home office/den, main floor laundry room and half bath for guests. Upper level boasts soaring 11ft. ceilings, three generously sized bedrooms and two full baths. Walk up attic and clean unfinished basement provide ample storage space.
