You found it! This updated 3-bedroom home is full of charm and modern touches, just a few blocks from the shopping, dining, and fun in Historic Valley Junction. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice the refinished hardwood floors, freshly retextured/painted walls, new trim, doors, light fixtures, and a fully remodeled bathroom. The open kitchen has refinished cabinets and a sleek new sink/faucet, with stainless steel appliances all included! Downstairs, there's even more living space with a partially finished basement that includes a rec room and a true bedroom with an added egress window. New washer and dryer in 2022 that stays as well! Outside, you'll love the large, fully fenced backyard with manicured mature trees and a new concrete patio, driveway, and front sidewalk. The garage also got a facelift with new siding and service door. So many updates with a newer furnace, A/C, water heater, roof, windows, foundation waterproofing, along with a radon mitigation system. Don't wait, take a look before it's gone!
