It’s your time to shine with this adorable 1.5-story 3BR/2BA home on a cul-de-sac. The ¼-acre lot is fenced and is perfect for a large garden, pets, and kiddos. Quality features to note are hardwood floors, a coved ceiling, white trim, and an updated kitchen. There are stainless steel appliances, a gas range, white cabinets, and a breakfast nook. Two bedrooms are on this level plus a full bathroom. The roomy third bedroom is upstairs and includes a full bathroom. Updates: Tiled shower, vanity, and Bluetooth fan/light. Closets and shelving abound! The lower level is dry and makes for a great family room and non-conforming bedroom. The laundry is downstairs (washer/dryer stay) and there’s a workshop area with a fridge. Exterior features: 1+ car heated garage (new electrical), gazebo, playground, two sheds, new sidewalk/stoops, and shade trees. The roof was replaced in 2018. A basement perimeter system was installed in 2021. Summer days are ahead at nearby attractions like the Union Park Splashpad, Heritage Carousel, Birdland Pool, and the new Riverview Park.
