Located just south of town in a rural subdivision of newer homes you'll find this spacious 5 (possibly 6) bedroom, 3 full bathroom home. As you enter the main floor you notice the gorgeous hardwood flooring and mostly open floor plan. The living room with informal dining area wraps around into the kitchen with an island and partial wall separating the two. Also on the main floor is a large primary suite with a large closet and full bathroom, 2 other bedrooms and one other full bathroom. The basement is mostly finished (in 2020) with 2 bedrooms with egress windows, a 3rd room that has no egress window, and a large family room area. There is an attached 2 car garage off the front of the home and a large covered deck off the back. Many updates were done in 2011 including: gutters, ceiling fans, doors/hardware, new toilets, closet shelving, fridge, stove, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave, garbage disposal, new ac unit, hot water system, sump pump, landscaping, and main bathroom sink/vanity. Come take a look at what could be your new home!!!
