About this home
Updated 3-Bedroom Home with Modern Upgrades and Great Location Move-in ready and packed with recent improvements, this 3 bed, 1.5 bath home offers 1, 416 sq ft of comfortable living on a 3, 920 sq ft lot. The kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring were all updated about 5 years ago, so there's nothing to do but unpack. Bonus cabinet space in the dining room adds extra storage and display room beyond the kitchen. Major systems have been taken care of. Brand new windows were installed throughout in 2021, ductless mini-split systems were added in 2022 for efficient heating and cooling in every area of the home, and the roof is less than 10 years old. A new water heater was installed in 2021, and steam radiator heat is in place as well. Outside, the property is fully fenced with a perimeter fence and two gates (installed 2021), and you'll love the screened-in gazebo (built 2025), the storage shed (2022), and the new carport over the driveway (2026). Inside, the finished attic adds flexible bonus space, and the unfinished basement offers plenty of room for storage, a workshop, or future expansion. A UniFi security system with perimeter cameras stays with the home for added peace of mind, along with UniFi access points throughout for strong, reliable Wi-Fi in every room. Conveniently located close to stores and with easy highway access, this one makes everyday life simple.
