The sellers have been wonderful stewards of their home replacing the roof, water heater, refrigerator, washer, dryer, living room and kitchen windows and the double-insulated garage door within the last 4 years. Fresh paint and updated lighting help to show off the already sunny, large rooms and the gleaming hardwood floors. All 3 roomy bedrooms and full bath are on the 2nd floor - there are powder rooms on the main floor and in the finished basement. The 2 fireplaces were conveyed as-is in 2017; seldom used by sellers they are being listed as-is for this sale as well. The basement family room also features a built-in bar/serving area with a mid-century vibe. Check out the 3D virtual tour - you'll be glad you did.
