Description

Some houses just feel right the moment you walk in. This is one of them! Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, the kitchen has double ovens and more storage than you'll know what to do with, and the layout flows the way a home should. The bedrooms are generously sized, the bathroom has been tastefully updated, and everything just fits. Downstairs, the full basement gives you room to breathe and room to grow.

Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, the kitchen has double ovens and more storage than you'll know what to do with, and the layout flows the way a home should. The bedrooms are generously sized, the bathroom has been tastefully updated, and everything just fits. Downstairs, the full basement gives you room to breathe and room to grow. There's already a finished bonus room waiting on nothing but flooring to become whatever you need it to be. A home office, a playroom, a gym. The bones are there. Step outside and you'll find a brand new deck that's covered and connects the house to the detached two-car garage, fresh exterior paint, and a fully fenced backyard. It's the kind of outdoor setup that actually gets used. Newer furnace and water heater mean the big-ticket items are already handled. Come see it in person. It shows even better than it sounds.
