This darling cottage is SOOO much bigger than it looks. It's a fooler and you have to see it to believe it! So if you are looking for a TRUE move-in condition home, with nothing to do but unpack, this is YOUR LUCKY DAY! Thinking that this would be their forever home, the sellers put in excess of $45,000 in upgrade/updates. And then they moved on to a family home. Their loss will be your gain, as this is a steal! 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The galley kitchen was gutted and built from scratch and it is gorgeous! Stainless appliances stay. Beautiful cabinetry goes all the way to the ceiling. Solid surface countertop and sink. Beautiful coordinating backsplash and rustic ceramic flooring. Dining room has new Bruce real hardwood flooring. Both bathrooms were updated. 2 bedrooms on main level and 2 upstairs. Full basement is freshly painted and clean as can be. Replacement windows (except 2). Landscaped, brick paver patio and huge pergola w/ shade cover. See updates w/ pics
