This is no ordinary split foyer home. No Popcorn Ceiling! Plus fresh paint throughout! A unique feature is the bonus room with an exterior door on the ground level. This could be used as a home office with an entrance for clients or be a living room for a small accessory dwelling unit with a zero entry! Or add a closet & you have a 4th bedroom. The bonus room does not have heat or AC. Owners used space heater & room stays cool with the ceiling fan. Check out the recently improved full bath on the upper level with the roomy walk-in shower, plus the skylight makes the perfect finishing touch.The 3 season porch has built in seating/storage, so just add some cushions. The kitchen and flooring needs a new owner's personal touch. You could put a disco ball, lava lamps and some bean bag chairs in the lower level to match the carpet! Hey how about a hot tub in the bonus room!
