About this home
Close to schools, shopping, and the airport this cozy home with 2 kitchens, sunroom, & over-sized garage with attached shop is a must see! There is plenty of room for parking in back, making turning around a breeze so you don't have to back out into the street. This well-maintained home offers 2 bedrooms on the main level plus a possible 3rd (currently used as a dining room). The partially finished basement expands your options with a 2nd kitchen, laundry area, large area that could be used as a family room or rec room, extra room that could be used as a non-conforming 4th bedroom or office space, and a half bath with mechanic's shower. Main floor features a full bath, hardwood flooring, and a bright sunroom with back stairs access. Outside enjoy a fully fenced yard, storage shed, and an oversized 2-car garage with attached shop to please any car lover/mechanic. Updates include newer roof, central A/C, updated electrical panel and GFI outlets, fresh paint on most of the main floor interior and exterior sunroom, new blinds on main floor, and some new siding and fresh paint on garage. Lower level would make a great Mother-in-law suite or separate living space for family. With flexible living spaces, thoughtful upgrades, and plenty of room for hobbies, this property is move-in ready and waiting for its next owner!
