New roof, gutters, on both the home and garage (2018) and attic insulation (2018), central air and furnace are 10 years young and maintained yearly. Even a new wall heater in the basement to keep things cozy year-round. Water heater /hot water tank is 2 years old. Outside, you'll love the private backyard and patio area-perfect for BBQs or simply unwinding. Plus, there's a 2-car garage with lots of extra storage space. With neutral finishes throughout, this home is move-in ready and waiting for your personal touch. Don't wait-homes this well cared for don't stay on the market for long.
