Description

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION DATE (1959). In 1996 this home became the subject of a complete remodel. The roof was peaked and the primary bedroom, bath and laundry were added to create the split-wing floor plan. A huge detached garage was added in the backyard together with covered RV parking, several sheds and cross-fencing. Then again in 2024 this home was upgraded. The kitchen was gutted to add new cabinets, counter tops, sink and appliances including stove, microwave, refrigerator and washer/dryer (all of which remain with this home upon sale). A new heat and air unit was installed. ADDED BONUS: fully-paid solar system (expanded in 2024) and Natural Gas too. New Stucco. The living room boasts a pellet stove and vaulted ceilings. As you view this home you will find ceiling fans throughout. The windows are all dressed with custom shutters. The floors are covered by a special treatment concrete in the living areas while the bedrooms are carpeted. The primary bedroom is spacious and will accommodate the oversized furniture that is so popular today. The primary bathroom is equipped with separate tub and shower and big closets. The huge garage can be accessed through by a gate on the west side of the house. The fencing found here is a great protection for children and pets. You will find all of this and more in a quiet family neighborhood located close to town and public transportation. Come see this home today. It has so much to offer. It will not last long.
