Picture-perfect on the outside, move-in ready on the inside, and with an incredible assumable loan opportunity - 8 Birchwood Road is truly a gem! This raised ranch is located in a quiet, walkable Skokorat area neighborhood on a beautiful .63 acre lot. Enter the front door to instant charm with a brick-tiled entryway and modern wood and metal railings. An open concept main level greets you, with the sunny living room flowing to the dining room and updated kitchen with large island, butcher block countertops, deep sink with updated faucet, and hardwood flooring throughout. Down the hall sits an updated full bathroom with newer tub/shower insert and plumbing fixtures. A primary suite with full bathroom, plus two additional bedrooms all feature engineered hardwood flooring and ceiling fans for breezy snoozing. Down in the wood-look tiled walkout lower level, cozy up to the fireplace with plenty of extra space for a rec area or work setup. A half bath/laundry room and direct access to the 2 car garage completes the lower level. Outside, enjoy summers on the beautiful wood deck/patio surrounded by the fenced-in backyard. A large shed and additional firewood storage structure make it easy to stay organized. Additional features and updates include central A/C, brand new boiler with on-demand hot water heater, updated light fixtures throughout, new interior door hardware throughout, and epoxy-coated garage flooring. The cherry on top: an assumable loan with 2.375% interest rate!
