Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, cabinet hardware, and Pergo flooring gives this kitchen and breakfast dining a great area to start your day off. Conveniently located is a half bath and large laundry room leading to the 2 car carport and huge backyard. Headed down the hall are 2 linen cabinets (coat closet in foyer), guest bathroom, and 2 generous sized guest bedrooms. The master bedroom and bath have added details with a trey ceiling, crown molding, and a large walk-in closet. The garden tub is oversized and can be used as a shower. There are also 2 vanities with one that features extra counter space and an area to sit down. Headed outside is a very private back yard with patio area to enjoy a variety of birds and newly planted shrubs. There is an attached storage room and an extra parking pad for plenty of vehicles. That is not all! The roof was just replaced with 25 year architectural roof which includes a warranty, new PVC fascia, and all of the windows were replaced 4 years ago and all are wired for security. Wow, are you ready to move in?
