The home comes unfurnished but does include a new lawn mower to remain with the property. All living areas have been thoroughly cleaned and upgraded. Specifically, the kitchen boasts a more functional layout with an increase in storage cabinets, a brand new electric range/stove, new microwave/vent/fan/light unit and new 24 inch wide dishwasher where there wasn't one before; all are stainless steel. The living and dining rooms are open concept, well lit, and a show stopper with all that hardwood and architectural character. Each of the 3 levels yield about 730 sq ft of space! Ground level basement is laundry/storage/garage, the main level has entry at both front porch and kitchen back door to back yard/kitchen/living room open to dining/2 bedrooms/bathroom, third level is the wide open bonus room vs 3rd bedroom or huge master with vaulted ceilings creating visual flare - use your imagination up there. Back yard is fenced in and there's a patio for outdoor lounging activities. If you like to garden, raise flowers, and do yardwork, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the foliage that pops up this spring! It's all been trimmed back to start fresh! 1-2 pets may be allowed on approval and with a pet fee (do note the hardwood floors please).
