Prospective buyers will appreciate the extensive renovations completed within the last seven years, including roof, vinyl siding, gutters, insulated windows, drywall, ceilings, heating, plumbing, electrical systems, lighting, and hardwood flooring throughout both levels. The primary bedroom on the first floor has been enlarged by combining it with the adjacent bedroom. The open-concept kitchen, renovated in 2020, boasts recessed lighting, stainless steel appliances, stylish white cabinetry, gorgeous granite countertops, and a 92-inch center island that provides ample storage and serves as a seamless link between the kitchen and the inviting living area.
