Going to College, or a traveling nurse? Why rent when you can buy! Roommates can help make your mortgage payment and build your equity. Over $100K in Upgrades – Feels like a New Home without the new build Wait Upgrades include (but do not end with) a sealed basement, updated electrical, plumbing, hot water heater, full roof replacements (on both the house and garage), new gutters and more! This fully renovated home where quality craftsmanship and modern updates come together seamlessly. With more than $100,000 in recent improvements, this property offers the comfort and reliability of a new build—ready for you to move in and enjoy. Step inside and immediately notice the fresh paint and durable, engineered hardwood floors that run throughout. The kitchen has been fully rebuilt from the studs—plaster removed, sheetrock installed—and features brand-new cabinetry, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances (including stove, refrigerator, washer, and dryer), new lighting, fixtures, and a large window for natural light. The main bedroom is bright and welcoming, offering a private en-suite bath with a tile walk-in shower and an LED anti-fog mirror. A second full bath, located near the second bedroom, mirrors the style and finishes of the primary, ensuring consistency and comfort for residents and guests alike. Upstairs was gutted, and converted into a spacious third bedroom, complete with new insulation, electrical, sheetrock, and finishes—perfect as a guest room, home office, or flexible living space. Outside, enjoy a generously sized back deck—recently stained and ready for outdoor dining or relaxing—overlooking the easy-to-maintain backyard. This home has been completely refreshed with care and attention to detail, offering a rare opportunity to own a fully updated property with timeless charm and modern convenience. A must-see!
