About this home

Here it is! A cute and modern feeling, move-in ready 3 BR/2 BA home! A nice-sized back entryway leads to a large eat-in kitchen. The kitchen flows to an informal dining room, which opens to the living room and front entryway. A carpeted bedroom with a rustic wooden accent wall and a 3/4 bathroom can also be found on the main level. New carpet covers the steps and continues through the upstairs hallway. On the 2nd level, there is a completely renovated full bathroom and two additional bedrooms. Both bedrooms feature hardwood flooring and walk-in closets. The basement offers plenty of storage space, and most of the light fixtures throughout the home have recently been replaced. A detached garage and a storage shed also come with the property. Don't wait - call to schedule a showing!
