Nestled in the charming Ghent neighborhood, this beautifully updated home offers a blend of modern comfort and timeless appeal. Many features including lovely hardwood floors, fireplace and tiled bathroom. The kitchen has been remodeled with granite countertops and appliances (the dishwasher was replaced in 2024 and other appliances in 2019). The oversized laundry room can be utilized as a small office or bonus room. There is lots of storage available in the outbuilding that was renovated a couple of years ago with a new roof, siding and door. The large fenced in backyard offers a private oasis perfect for gardening, play or entertaining. This home is in an ideal location close to local shops, restaurants and the YMCA. The fireplace has been capped and not safe to operate. Electrical repairs needed to the shop and the sump pump has been removed. There is an encroachment with the east neighbor.
Don't miss the opportunity to make this lovely home your own!
