Fully refurbished, this 3 bedroom, 1 bath home over a full, finished basement will impress you at every turn. Great curb appeal welcomes you onto the front porch and the beautiful front door with side light panel. Inside you will see the improvements list unfold. New luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level, except in the bedrooms, which have new carpeting. Lots of vinyl replacement windows give all the rooms plenty of light. Brand new cabinets and fixtures in the large eat-in Kitchen. New vanity and fixtures in the bathroom. All bedrooms are spacious.
