Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, the home features a new roof (2025), central air conditioning, and a professionally relined main sewer line using a trenchless system for long-term peace of mind. The upper level has been completely remodeled, including a stunning kitchen and bathroom with granite countertops, while the finished lower level adds valuable living space with an additional bedroom, family room, and a full bathroom with laundry. Flooring throughout includes a blend of hardwood, laminate, and carpet, offering both style and comfort. The dishwasher has been replaced within the last three years.
