The remodeled kitchen shines with new windows, luxury vinyl flooring, countertops, sink & faucet, recessed lighting, light fixtures, and built-in appliances. The completely renovated bathroom includes a new shower, double-sink vanity with quartz countertop and undermount sinks, updated lighting, and mirrors. Down the hall, three bedrooms offer beautiful hardwood floors, fresh paint, and ceiling fans.

The property’s private back-yard is developed with stately mature trees, plant beds, landscaped areas and also offers direct access to the Charley Western Recreational Trial. The clean, painted basement provides additional space for storage and future improvements and includes a matching Speed Queen washer/dryer set, and a lower-level shower.
