Welcome home to this fully renovated 3-bedroom home with a bonus room, sitting on a beautiful 1-acre lot. Nearly everything has been updated, making this an easy, move-in-ready option with big upgrades already done for you.
Inside, you’ll find new flooring throughout—LVP on the main level and carpet upstairs—along with new drywall, redesigned walls, and updated insulation. The kitchen has been completely refreshed with new cabinets, countertops, and fixtures, and the bathroom has been fully remodeled with a new tub/shower, vanity, and toilet.
Behind the scenes, the home features new electrical, plumbing, windows, doors, hot water heater, lighting, and ceiling fans, offering peace of mind. The HVAC system is estimated to be under 10 years old, has been professionally inspected, and is operating properly.
The full unfinished basement is clean, dry, and great for storage or future finishing. Professional waterproofing was completed in August 2024, including epoxy wall injection, sealed walls, new drainage tile, and properly sized gutters and downspouts—making a noticeable difference in keeping the basement dry.
Outside, enjoy new siding and trim, a metal roof, new concrete sidewalks, a pressure-treated deck, and an enclosed front patio. Additional highlights include main-level laundry, a 2-car garage, and well and septic systems that have been inspected and are operating properly.
If you’re looking for a solid, updated home with space to breathe and the major work already done, this one is a real find.
