    Outstanding story and a half perfect starter home or the move up buyer. This home includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bath areas. As you enter the home, you will be greeted by the hardwood floors in the living room that has crown molding and wired for surround sound. There is a full bath on the main floor. The kitchen is an eat-in with tiled floors and includes all appliances. The basement area is finished and includes a family room with new carpet plus and exercise room. The washer/dryer is also included. There is a large 2 level deck in the rear with a totally fenced yard. The garage is actually a 3 car, but has 2 stalls with a workshop in the third, perfect for a mechanic. The exterior has vinyl siding.
