The open concept of the first-floor living, dining, and kitchen is perfect for entertaining. The primary bedroom offers an ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms are generous in size (one with an ensuite bathroom) with an additional sitting room/den between them that is great to hang out and relax or use as another offer. There are no shortages of updates either. The chimney was rebuilt in 2016. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch that was updated in 2016. New HVAC in 2018, foundation work on the east and west sides of the house was done in 2018, and the new roof and siding were installed in 2020. The basement was finished in 2021 adding an additional family room and office space. There is also plenty of additional storage in the laundry and utility rooms. The back deck, which is great for BBQing and unwinding, overlooks the expansive, private, backyard and recently added firepit area in 2022. There's plenty of room for playsets and raised garden beds as well. This sunny and charming home is a breath of fresh air, move-in ready, and won't last long!
