The kitchen is updated with premium Wolf cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator. Laundry is conveniently located on the upper level. There is also a den/office on the main level that could be used as an additional bedroom (minus a closet). Major systems offer peace of mind: the roof, heater, and water heater were all new when the seller purchased the home in 2018; the AC compressor was replaced in April 2025; and a brand new sewer line was installed in March 2025. The bones of this house are strong. Situated on a corner lot, the property includes a front, side, and backyard—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A private driveway offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles. This home is close to parks, schools, and local amenities.
