Property Description

Move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath home located on a corner lot in charming Sycamore! Featuring a brand new roof (November 2024) and numerous updates throughout. The bright kitchen showcases freshly painted cabinetry, quartz countertops, a white subway tile backsplash, and some newer stainless steel appliances. Enjoy new vinyl plank flooring in the main living areas and brand-new carpet in the living room and bedrooms, all tied together with fresh interior paint. Main floor includes a bedroom, full bathroom, laundry area, and a enclosed front porch. Upstairs offers another spacious bedroom.
