The wide open living room and oversized eat in Corian/stainless kitchen with direct access to the deck make gathering together with family and friends comfortable and easy. Two generous sized bedrooms with good closet space, large bathroom with new tub surround and pull down attic access round out the main level. The basement can be finished for additional living space and already has a bonus bathroom with shower stall. You will spend countless hours in the large three season enclosed patio that has direct access to the amazing yard with enclosed garden beds. Even the garage is oversized! This is one level living at its best, but also has expansion potential that is endless making it the perfect home for first time homebuyers, those looking to downsize, those looking for a condo alternative and especially those looking to move right in and enjoy!
