The main floor has been updated to open the kitchen into the living space, with new flooring, cabinetry, and updated appliances, creating a bright, connected area. From the kitchen, you walk through a mudroom/pantry directly out to a spacious, fully fenced yard with plenty of room for kids, pets, or entertaining.Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a private walkout balcony overlooking the yard, while the additional bedrooms each offer their own balcony access, a rare feature in this price range. The fully finished basement adds flexibility with a cozy fireplace and a bonus room suited for a home office or additional living space.
