Major improvements in 2025 include: attic insulation R49, new roof, new gutters, new asphalt driveway, new A/C, two new furnaces, new water heater, new water softener, new well tank, new ejector pump, new sump pump, and re-piped plumbing and electrical throughout. The house boasts new ceiling fans in each bedroom, electronic key pad at front door and usb outlets in each room. Custom kitchen cabinets and pantry with ample storage space including a new range hood, sink and faucet, trash pullout, spice pull out and bakeware pull out. The connection into city sewer makes this home ready for additions. The kitchen boasts a 42" counter-depth refrigerator. Although not new the custom panels create a cohesive kitchen. Outside, enjoy nearly an acre for gardening, pets, or outdoor entertaining, plus a 1200 sq foot detached garage with 220 power for your hobbies and storage needs.
