Fabulous 4 bedroom home in Genoa with updates throughout from top to bottom, inside and out! Great curb appeal welcomes you with beautiful landscaping and inviting decks on both the front and back of the home. The fenced backyard provides a wonderful outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, the updated kitchen features attractive countertops and appliances, while the bathroom is pretty as a picture. Updated wiring adds peace of mind, and the 2 car detached garage provides plenty of space for parking, storage, or projects. The basement offers excellent additional living space with a family room and den, plus plumbing roughed in for a future bathroom.
