The true definition of a real-life dollhouse is this well presented three-bedroom vinyl sided story and a half bath bungalow style home with a mostly fenced backyard, attached garage (no direct interior access), all appliances to remain, and a full usable basement. Step inside and be welcomed by a quaint foyer, bright and airy front facing living room with lovely hardwood flooring, striking fully updated equipped eat-in kitchen with sleek white soft close cabinetry, butcher block countertops, and an elegant tiled backsplash, two bedrooms -- both with hardwood flooring -- one with a rear facing exterior access point, and an updated full hall bath (new flooring to be installed prior to closing). Upstairs, you will find a large third bedroom with over 330 square feet of living space. The full usable basement is host to laundry facilities, mechanicals, 18X12 family room area, and great storage/work space. Enjoy relaxing and/or entertaining outdoors? This darling dwelling features a rear deck with built-in bench seating that is encompassed by a mostly fenced yard. Vinyl replacement windows, radon mitigation system, and all appliances to remain upon settlement including washer and dryer. Roof replaced in 2020 -- water heater new in 2021 -- various recent plumbing upgrades (sewer line from house to street replaced also in 2015). Act swiftly -- this one is bound to have a short shelf life!
