Newly finished basement, new paint throughout, new carpet, electric furnace, newly added half bath in basement, and even the kitchen sink is new! Great view and sits on an acre! The current owner finished the basement with an additional living area featuring great windows and lighting, a bonus area for office or storage, updated electrical and laundry area. Central vacuum plumbed on main floor and basement -just needs the equipment. Speakers on the main level and deck area for great entertaining and enjoying the outdoors. No POA but there is a voluntary road maintenance agreement and the seller is paying for an assessment to pave Earnest Brown. Electrical work is being completed in the basement but should be done within a couple of weeks. The carpet will be installed after the basement drywall is complete. There may be work going on now but it will be complete by the settlement date! Short-term rentals ALLOWED!
