Listing broker remarks

Discover this special location and versatile home! Built in 1989, the current owners have updated almost everything from the brand NEW roof, rebuilt chimney, new composite front porch, to the double walled oil tank and new bulkhead cover. The home has been upgraded with quality components and design. The well-planned kitchen boasts cherry cabinets, silestone counters, new S/S DW & Refrig and the spacious Dining/LR extends the full depth of the house, featuring oak floors and a fireplace w/woodstove insert. Thoughtfully appointed baths w/tile finishes, one deep tub, and dbl vanity in the primary. First floor den/office can also serve as a main level BR. Well-done lower-level bonus room is great for game room or theater. Outside, the partially covered expansive composite deck is a great space to relax while overlooking the acre-sized yard. Sweet location, walkable to Thomas Aquinas campus, Northfield Golf Course, and quick access to Main St shops, school & library. More info attached.— Renfrew Real Estate
