The Living Room will win you over when you walk in. A stone fireplace on one wall, beamed, vaulted ceiling and a picture window overlooking acres of wetlands. Fresh paint and two year old carpet make it shine. Light, bright eat-in kitchen features granite countertop, all appliances and laundry. Ceramic tile surrounds the bathtub and a new granite-topped vanity has been installed. The 22' Primary bedroom features windows all around, dual closets with a built-in dresser and a door to the wooded back yard. The neighbors on both sides have triple lots making for a very private setting. 2019 remodeling included exterior painting, new furnace, A/C, water heater, water softener, carpeting, some windows, ductwork and plumbing. The patio is great for outdoor entertaining and the 4' crawl allows for easy access to storage. Paved parking for 4 cars on Watts and access as well from Harold Place in the rear (with no stairs). Private well & septic saves money-no water & sewer bill. Seller does not have homestead exemption so taxes will go down for a live-in buyer. Seller will provide a Home Warranty.
