The kitchen features a recently updated stove/range, tile backsplash, white cabinetry, and half bath with laundry. Moving upstairs, you will notice hardwood floors throughout the 4 bedrooms in addition to an updated full bathroom with subway tile & vanity with granite countertop. Bonus Third-Level space. A flat, fenced-in backyard provides privacy for play & entertainment while the detached two-car garage offers additional storage & parking.
