This lovely home is a clean oasis with an amazing getaway of a backyard connected to a beautiful city park. You'll appreciate the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and all of the space in this well kept home but you're going to love the garage and the back yard! With two family / living spaces this home has plenty of space for everyone but if you need to get everyone together the great room layout on the upper level with a gorgeous kitchen island is the perfect spot for that! The amazing fenced-in back yard has a custom patio, fire pit, storage shed and a lot of space to relax. Work can wait, start a fire in the fire pit and enjoy! This home has been well taken care of and has seen many updates making it a very efficient and easier to maintain home. This is that perfect place you hope your buddy buys if you're not currently house hunting yourself. If you are, get this before its gone!
