This lovely 2-story home has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Completely remodelled in 2025, this home has a new kitchen with modern white cabinets and a ceramic floor for easy cleaning, plus all-new stainless-steel appliances. The first floor is very large with an open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen. In addition, the first floor has a beautifully renovated bathroom and 2 bedrooms, so there is plenty of room for Grandma. The second floor also has two spacious bedrooms, including the master with a walk-in closet, and a newly renovated full bathroom. There is an office on the lower level for those who wish to work from home. Most importantly, all of the utilities in the home have been brought up to code. The electrical service, both inside and out, is new, and all the wiring throughout has been replaced. In addition, the furnace, central AC and water heater are new. There is a family room in the lower level along with an office, a laundry room with a newer washer and dryer, and a utility room. Outside, there is a new 2.5-car garage with a driveway for parking an additional 5 cars. The exterior of the home has been fully renovated, with a new front porch, a new roof, and the siding newly painted. A brand new 6-foot wooden fence protects the rear of the home, and there is an enclosed extra parking space behind the garage. The home is in a quiet neighbourhood of established single-family homes and is within walking distance of the elementary school. Nothing to do but move in!
