Updated ranch style home set back from quieter road in neighborhood of similar houses. Enter from the front porch directly into the living room which is open to the completely updated kitchen. Down the hall off the living room are three bedrooms and...
a full bathroom. The master bedroom includes a half bathroom. Basement has been finished with floating flooring consistent with the main level. Access to the garage through the basement. Stone patio off the back door looks to be new. Home appears to be situated close to southwest edge of lot, so neighbors on that side, off the back patio, are closer.
