Joy MerskiRedfin Associate agent - This home sits at the end of a nice cul-de-sac. On the main level there is the living room, the dining room, a powder room, the laundry room, a small office, the family room and the updated kitchen. There are sliding glass doors in the dining room...that lead to a deck and there is a door in the laundry room that leads to another deck. Upstairs there are 4 moderate size bedrooms and 2 full bath. The hall bath has the original blue tile and blue fixtures. There are hardwood floors in the living room, dining room, office, upstairs hallway and all 4 bedrooms. The basement is mostly finished but has a choppy feel and low ceilings. There is a rec room, a powder room and 2 additional finished rooms. There is not much of a useable backyard. The backyard backs to trees and a walking path.7 years ago• May not reflect the current state of the home
