This Craftsman home was home to the same family for 27 years. Updates over the years were made with the intent to stay in the home long term, and still keeping the historic character intact. The home has a metal roof which will never need replaced and provides home insurance benefits, covered gutters, new cedar fence and reinforced gate- great to secure pets in the backyard, Pella windows and addition of a sliding door in back room, remaining original windows restored, and composite, maintenance free deck off back of home just to name a few of the upgrades. The kitchen is updated with new stainless appliances, quartz countertops and undermount lighting and first floor ½ bathroom. Finished dry basement with addition of laundry room, third bathroom and egress windows provide the perfect space for family movie night or guest retreat. Showstopper backyard filled with perennials and drought resistant native plants to assist in keeping yard low maintenance, so you can enjoy the front and back decks without worrying about yardwork. A newer driveway and two car garage are the cherry on top of this maintenance-free home filled with upgrades and updates you don’t often get see as well as square footage you will appreciate for years to come. All that is left to do is make this home your own!
