This convenient layout offers a finished breezeway between the attached 1.5 car garage and the home, creating the perfect nook for a main floor laundry station. Step up into the kitchen where you'll enjoy the roomy galley-style with plentiful cabinets and an eat-in breakfast nook. The living room features a large picture window to the front and the formal entryway, though the breezeway is where close friends and family will enter. The two large bedrooms each have hardwood floors and share an updated hall bathroom with a replaced tall vanity and stool. Downstairs you will find a full, partially finished basement. Previous owners had waterproofing tile work done (per the previous listing). There is a second full bathroom in the basement. The roof is new within the last 6 years. The level, backyard is large and privacy-fenced and there is a carport for extra covered-parking.
