Property Description
Realtors use "deceiving" but this house truly exemplifies it! Without seeing in person all 6 levels (yes there are 6- basement, den, main fl, two floors for the bedrooms then a few more stairs up to the fully insulated attic/storage area from the primary bedroom), the spacious rooms, fantastic addition of the family room off the back which allows for the flexible option for a dining table there or in the kitchen, more cabinets and storage and built in areas than one could unreasonably expect and all the surprising space and upgrades would be missed!From the 2023 roof still under warranty, 2025 entire HVAC system inside AND out, updated appliances in the recently renovated kitchen, neutrally freshly painted & beautifully updated floors to the already in existence 200amp service and secondary panel, and tankless water heater.... Do not miss the closets behind the blue panels, the eaves & stairway to the attic/storage area, in the primary bed on the 4th level...which also has its own full bath (one of the 2 full updated baths!).From the basement laundry space lined with cabinets, off the 1/2 bath and storage room, to the kitchen with its plentiful cabinets there and a pass thru to the sun drenched family room, especially where a dining table could go, and double closets all over in the bedrooms, to the eaves and attic, this might finally be a house with room for everything and more!! Plus clean tank sweep in 2024, this home will be a pleasure to show and a new buyers' dream!
