As you approach the property, you will be captivated by the perfectly landscaped lot complete with a lawn irrigation system and a canine electric fence so that your pets can safely enjoy the spacious yard. The home itself is protected by an ADT alarm system and boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2 half baths, as well as a bonus room on the third floor. This home has been meticulously maintained by the current owner with recent updates including new roof (2017), whole house water softener, new hot water heater (2021), new water pump (2021), new LeafFilter gutter protection (2020), new composite decking (2021), and a new automatic whole house generator (2023) for uninterrupted power supply during emergencies or power outages. A 500 gallon propane tank powers the generator, gas fires and the grill. TruGreen, Orkin (termites), and Sears master protection agreements are pre-paid for the rest of the year and will transfer to buyer, as well as a pre-paid fall HVAC service set for November.
