There's cabinets galore with electrical strips...Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful? Isn't she precious? Please tell me you sang that in your best Stevie Wonder voice! She is indeed lovely, wonderful & you need to come on in to see for yourself! The location is fabulous! The living area was professionally remodeled in 2019, you will find a cook's dream kitchen with 5-burner gas stove, double ovens, drawer microwave, icemaker, touch faucet, walk-in pantry, 5'x9' island with electrical and USB strip. There's cabinets galore with electrical strips underneath two sections. Countertops and island are quartz. With the open floor plan you can cook & still enjoy watching the game or your favorite show & enjoy the glow of the wood-burning fireplace. The bedrooms and bathrooms were updated in 2020. Master bath has a custom shower, new Jacuzzi tub and quartz countertops. No fighting over the sink since you will have his/her vanities. No fighting over closet space. You got it, his/her walk-in closets! Bonus room? Did someone say bonus room? Yep! Would make a great office, craft room, whatever you need room - there's a bank of windows across the back & 2 brick walls that give this room all the coziness you want! The laundry/mudroom just inside the back door is a great place to drop off your briefcase or school backpacks. There's an extra bathroom with a custom shower that works great for guest to use after a swim. Oh, you didn't know there's a pool? Yep! Pool/hot tub were installed in 2017. There's a covered patio area for when you need to get out of the sun. Backyard has a privacy fence with an 11' custom iron gate with solar panels. Ok, I'm running out of room - there's new double hung windows, crown molding, custom front door, light dimmer switches, new siding and more. Come on and take a look! She's lovely!
