Inside, the reimagined eat-in kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and clean modern cabinetry, opening to a sunlit living room with hardwood floors throughout. The thoughtfully updated layout offers 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office, along with two full baths. A finished lower level adds a dedicated laundry room and versatile bonus space for exercise, hobbies or relaxation, while gas heating paired with efficient mini-split heating and cooling keeps the home efficient and low-maintenance year-round. Outside, unwind on the private, fenced brick patio, complete with a storage shed. A paved driveway accommodates at least 2 cars.
