Located on a nice lot with trees to the rear with plenty of yard for your enjoyment. A new roof was installed in 2011 as well as cement board siding with Hardie Board Trim for minimum outside maintenance. Enjoy the front porch as well as the screened in porch off the back deck for your outside entertainment and relaxation. New 6 panel doors, a sky light, carpeting, a wood burning fireplace, counter tops in the kitchen, tile floors in both bathrooms in the lower level, and a picture window on the main floor were upgraded and added in 2011. New laminate flooring on the main level was added this year. A Mitsubishi heat pump was installed several years ago to provide you with heating and A/C comfort and efficiency. This unit is big enough to handle any additions to the house. This home would provide you comfort with efficient energy cost.
