Beautifully updated brick home on private .87 acres on the north side of Vine Arden Road, close to town yet quiet and private. With so many recent improvements it feels like a brand new house! Updates include new roof and gutters, new windows, new central air conditioning and heat pump, new electrical wiring and panel, and new hot water heater and plumbing. Home was renovated to the studs and you have all new drywall with recessed lighting and fans, new doors, trim, and vinyl plank flooring. Kitchen features white shaker soft close cabinetry, "fantasy" style granite counter tops, and new appliances including stackable washer and dryer. Blue tile in the bathroom brings a pop of color to an otherwise neutral palette waiting for your vision. Cozy living and dining area is highlighted by an electric fireplace insert. The real magic is outside where you will enjoy level terrain, a mature fig tree, and lots of privacy with plenty of room for gardens, a pool, or future additions. Come see it!
