This home has been upgraded with fresh paint throughout, brand new carpet throughout, updated lighting fixtures, and improvements to both the front and back outdoor spaces. Outdoor living is just as enjoyable with a refreshed deck overlooking the fully fenced backyard, providing a private space for entertaining, grilling, or simply relaxing in the shade. The yard is landscaped and ready for pets, gardening, or play. A two-car attached garage and additional driveway space offer parking for up to four vehicles.
