The house offers exceptional insulation and structural integrity because its walls are thick poured concrete. Not only is this great for keeping the inside temperature regulated, but it's a solid comfort during storms. The home has been immaculately maintained, both inside and out. Long-time owners have updated many interior features, including granite countertops in the kitchen. New double-paned windows throughout. Master bathroom has separate shower with frameless glass and tile. The back yard is huge and offers a lot of beautiful trees and privacy. The huge back porch is screened and perfect for entertaining or just relaxing. One of the bedrooms is separated from the rest and has its own full bath, so it's great for someone who needs to come and go at odd hours. Unfinished partial basement. This home offers great value and comfort.
