Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street at the edge of town, this inviting home offers the perfect blend of comfort, funtionality and peaceful living. With neat, low maintenance landscaping and a fully fenced in backyard, this property is ideal for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the privacy this location provides. Step inside to find a recently remodeled kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, modern finishes, and an eat-in counter that opens seamlessly to the living room - perfect for everyday living and hosting guests. Most of the flooring throughout the home has been updated, adding a fresh and cohesive feel. There are two bedrooms and a full bath that complete the upper level and have been updated and refreshed with a modern but subdued color palette. The cozy lower level includes the third bedroom, another full bath and a welcoming family room complete with a built in fireplace, creating a warm and comfortable retreat. The lower level has been updated and refreshed as well, so there's really nothing to do but bring your things and move in and enjoy!! Outside, enjoy the permanent deck and patio area overlooking the backyard - an ideal setup for summer evenings and weekend gatherings. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the insulated and heated 2 stall garage, plus an additional detached garage that can be used for extra vehicle parking or storage. Added concrete alongside the garage provides convenient access to the backyard garage. With thoughtful updates, flexible spaces and a serene setting, this well maintained home is a rare find that offers both practicality and charm.
