Great Location + Loads of Updates = A great place to call home! Just 2 blocks from the waterfront and marina, this home is not to be missed. On the upper level, you'll find gleaming hardwood floors throughout the living room, dining area and bedrooms. A skylight in the kitchen highlights the new cabinets, quartz countertops and modern Samsung stainless steel appliance package. A spacious and brand new bathroom completes the upper floor. Downstairs, you'll find a huge recreation room, along with an office/mudroom, another fully remodeled bathroom and the 2-car garage with a newly epoxied floor. LED lighting throughout the home gives a bright and modern look. Outside, the first thing you'll notice is the new paver driveway. Balconies in both the front and rear of the home offer plenty of options for outdoor relaxation. And of course, the large fenced backyard is ready for entertaining. Additional features include a newer roof, water heater, furnace and central A/C, and solar powered attic fan. Come and see it today!
