This beautiful home has been meticulously and lovingly maintained by the current owner, with a long list of recent professional renovations/updates being completed, making it truly move in-ready! This property offers over 1/2 of an acre located in a quieter neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but just a short drive from downtown, shopping, restaurants, and parks. As soon as you pull into the driveway you'll start to fall in love with the many updates the current owner has already taken care of for you. Starting with the 2 beautiful covered porches/decks just added to the front and side of the house, with new lantern-style light fixtures installed to highlight the exterior's undeniable charm - including the vinyl siding that was recently professionally painted! The long gravel driveway leads to the oversized 2-stall detached garage with a built-in storage room and separate furnace inside! Did I mention that the roof and gutters on both the house AND garage are less than a year old? The back deck offers plenty of space to entertain, and the attached screened-in gazebo has a built-in ceiling fan/light, electrical outlets, and is wired for cable! The larger backyard includes a partly wooded area in the very back, a large storage shed with a loft, and the brand new septic system installed just this past August! Inside you will fall in love with the vaulted ceilings, new light fixtures, and the long list of recent updates including new vinyl windows, blinds, and professional paint throughout the house! The open-concept living room's new laminate wood floors flow into the kitchen with beautiful wood cabinets, tile floor & backsplash, brand new stainless steel appliances, and solid oak pantry doors that were just installed. Turning the corner you'll see a new wood sliding barn door leading to the recently renovated bathroom, and a brand new main-level washer and dryer set. The Central A/C, furnace, water heater, and water softener were all installed in 2019, offering the new owners even more peace of mind. The main bedroom has new carpet and beautiful closet doors. This adorable move-in ready home will not last long so don't wait! Schedule your showing this weekend while you still can! * * * AGENTS READ REMARKS. * * *
