The kitchen has already been updated with painted cabinets, additional pantry cabinets, new hardware, quartz countertops, a new sink, & a newer stove. The refrigerator, washer, and dryer all convey. The eat-in area can accommodate at least a 6 person table and has no annoying back door to access behind the chairs. Stools can be added to the raised bar. The dining room dons elegant plantation shutters along with bead board wainscoting under the chair rail and a double trey ceiling; it makes a perfect view from the foyer. Upstairs there are two sizeable bedrooms, one connected to the hall bath which has 2 sinks; and a fabulous bonus room with double windows on 2 sides with space for several activities at once . A quaint office upstairs has glass French doors so you are separated from the fray. Plus, there's an unfinished huge storage room on the 2nd floor for possible future expansion; per the previous seller, it has outlets, a vent, & a double 3/4'' plywood floor. Oh, and the loft is a perk for your library or maybe a study spot. Downstairs, the laundry room equipped with tall cabinets is an actual room, not a pass-through from the garage. Oversized garage with pedestrian door & RV outlet (possibly an EV could use). Extra 22.6x9 parking pad. Roof 2019. Heating & Air 2018, 2020. The Hampton Ridge Swim Club is just a few minutes away.
