Original hardwood floors are waiting to be uncovered beneath the wall-to-wall carpet that has been in place since day one. A screened porch off the kitchen provides a peaceful retreat with views of the large wooded lot that backs to woods, offering privacy with neighbors in the far distance. Recent updates include a 4-year-old roof, AC, and heat pump, as well as half of the windows replaced with Andersens.
