This 3 bedroom home with over 1,350 square feet of total finish, features windows overlooking a private, wooded lot. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience with quick access to the Beaverdale area. In 2017, the exterior was updated with new metal roofs on house and garage and a new concrete driveway. Inside, the kitchen received new granite countertops and the bathroom got a new shower surround. Then the exterior benefited from a new privacy fence in 2020, and just last year a new backyard patio and new front landscaping. Inside, both the house and the garage received new vinyl windows in 2025, and the garage opener was updated earlier this year. The 500 square feet of finished space in the walk-out lower level includes two nicely sized bedrooms, a family room, and a mud room.
