About This Home
This beautifully maintained tri-level has been updated throughout and is ready for its next chapter. Fresh paint and new flooring run throughout the home--luxury vinyl plank in the kitchen, dinette, family room, and bathrooms, with new carpet in the bedrooms and rec room. Hardwood floors lie beneath the carpet. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a brick backsplash, new stainless steel appliances including a hood, new double-bowl stainless sink, and updated plumbing fixtures. Both bathrooms have been fully refreshed with new vanities, quartz countertops, updated plumbing and lighting fixtures, and LVP flooring. Natural light fills every level of the home. The lower level offers a spacious great room with new carpet and a dedicated laundry room with a double utility sink and built-in storage. Major mechanicals include furnace (2018), water heater (2020), and sump pump (replaced April 2026). The fully fenced backyard includes a storage shed, and a 2.5-car detached garage completes the property. A home that's easy to move into and even easier to stay in.
