    What's special

    Fully finished basementGreat looking deckOpen floor planLarge dining room tableGreat looking fireplaceCentral airOpen kitchen layout
    This the one that you have been waiting for and can't wait to see!!! Before you walk in to the house you will see the great looking front porch area that has great looking railings. As soon as you walk in you will not want to leave any time soon. Here is a beautiful home that has been updated throughout and it comes with 3 large bedrooms and 2 FULL bathrooms. Did I mention that there is also CENTRAL AIR..?? Well, dont worry because there is also central air. As you walk in you are greeted with a great looking fireplace and an open floor plan that will be great for you to host your family and friends. The only things that the living room is missing is a big TV and a big couch. With the living room there is enough space for a large dining room table. Add in the open kitchen layout you will not find a better 1st floor in the area. The kitchen comes with stainless steel appliances, large cabinets, and a tremendous amount of counter space. Attached to the kitchen there is a great looking deck that will be great for those summer BBQ's. Once you go upstairs you will find 3 great looking and large bedrooms. There is ample closet space in the primary bedroom making this a can't miss purchase. Even with all that there is also an amazing looking tiled full bathroom on the 2nd floor. If that is not enough there is actually MORE!!!! When you go downstairs you will find a FULLY finished basement. There is a separate bedroom and a FULL bathroom. Seriously, what more can you ask for in a house!!! Enjoy the convenience of its location near major highways, local shopping centers. Minutes from City historic/downtown attractions and more. All you have to do is bring your furniture and MOVE RIGHT IN!!!
