Designer paint touches in several rooms. There is also a large unfinished utility room where the laundry hookups are that offers great storage or an exercise space. There is a screened breakfast porch off the kitchen and a lower deck. An oversized , fully insulated, detached garage with finished space above with heating/ac units was added in 2008 with permit, however the renovations/upgrades in home & to deck were done by professional contractors but not permitted. Home has gutter guards, recirculating pump for continuous hot water, filtered water at kitchen sink. The 449 sq ft in detached note in mls is finished space above garage. There is an electric gate on the driveway that leads to the detached garage and fenced yard. The crawlspace was encapsulated in 2012.There is baseboard heating in hallway on lower level but not used.
