So much charm in the 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home close to schools, dining, downtown, restaurants and the interstate. As you step in the front door you will be impressed with the large living room with a bay window and beautiful laminate floors in the house. The kitchen is larger with plenty of space to sit at your table and look at the fully fenced yard and 2 car garage or enjoy those peaceful times on the nice sized front deck. Three bedrooms and an updated bathroom. In the partially finished lower level you have 750 sq ft finished (as per assessors page) which includes a family room, bonus room, currently being used as a non conforming bedroom and a spa like bathroom and still storage! Washer and dryer stay and are only a year old. Whole house fan, newer water heater, AC and furnace. New roof in 2018.
