The living room has an oversized mantel that is a decorator s dream and a remote-controlled gas fire place. The dining room is open to the kitchen and the large deck which is great for a continuous flow of entertaining or just family time. The kitchen features include custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, and a Viking oven. The granite covered breakfast nook provides additional seating. The upper level has two bedrooms and a master suite with ceiling fans and mounted flat screen TV s that the owners are leaving for the lucky buyers. The spacious hall bath has a jacuzzi tub and a skylight which provides great natural light. The master bedroom has two closets and its own master bathroom. No need to share. Summertime is here and this home has central air, a patio in the front of the house and a huge deck located just off of the dining room. There is hard wood flooring and recessed lighting throughout. The rubber roof was replaced five years ago and still has ten years left on the warranty. All the replacement windows, doors, heater, central air unit, electrical, plumbing has been updated and are newer. All the bedrooms have ceiling fans. The owners are leaving one lucky buyer with the stainless-steel refrigerator, four flat screen TV s (3 in the bedrooms and 1 in the living room), the washing machine, dryer, a chest freezer, the deck furniture, and a gas grill. The owners are also providing a one-year AHS home warranty that covers the systems (heating, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical, etc.) and appliances. There is garage parking and off-street parking. There are grants available for first time home buyers that could contribute towards your closing cost/and or down payment. Contact me for more information. Interest rates are historically low and this is a great home to purchase. The owners took great care of this home and it shows. Close to shopping, main highways, public transportation, and regional rail.
