Recent improvements include refinished hardwood floors, glass block basement windows, new water softener, new water heater. Previous owner had converted main level bathroom tub space to a full walk-in shower and converted space in Kitchen area for main level laundry. Laundry currently set up back in the basement but main level plumbing still there for an easy conversion back to main level laundry and one-level living. Kitchen has been previously updated with newer appliances and quality cabinets. Low maintenance exterior with vinyl siding and metal soffit & fascia. White vinyl replacement windows. Nice oversized 2 car garage 24ft wide, 22ft deep. Some minor finishing needed in a few areas-bring your ideas and handyman skills-Trim needs to be replaced from hardwood floor finishing project and 2nd Bedroom had partial paneling on walls and ceiling that was removed and not refinished yet. Lower level bath was originally a 3/4 bath with shower, but shower was demo'd to be rebuilt/remodeled but not finished, so currently a 1/2 bath. Also newer furnace and Air Conditioner and a flagpole in yard.
