Fully renovated and move-in ready, this home offers modern updates, functional living space, and nearly 3/4 of an acre to enjoy! The main level features two updated bedrooms, new flooring throughout, and an open living area that flows into a redesigned kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar that creates a natural gathering point. The bathroom has been completely reimagined with a clean, modern design, featuring a sleek vanity, updated lighting, and all new fixtures, tied together by cohesive, updated finishes throughout. Downstairs, the finished basement expands the living space with an additional bedroom and a fully finished bathroom featuring equally modern, updated finishes--offering flexibility for guests, recreation, or extended living. Major mechanical updates include a new furnace and central air, giving buyers confidence that the big-ticket items are already handled. The expansive lot offers a rare amount of outdoor space, complemented by a detached garage and long driveway for ample parking. A clean, updated option for buyers looking for space, condition, and functionality without the project list.
