Bathrooms on upper and lower floors with an entrance to bathroom directly from bedroom and hallway. Absolutely huge family rooms on main and lower level with a spacious laundry room. Great storage under main living room and kitchen/dining area. Nice kitchen with quartz countertop and lots of cupboard space. Replaced siding with new insulation backed vinyl siding, facia window trim and soffits, commercial seamless gutters, all updated windows, furnace, and more. Too many updates to mention but this is a solid and efficient must see home. All of this and priced below assessed value!!!
