This move-in-ready residence has been refreshed with meaningful upgrades where it counts. The remodeled kitchen offers a clean, modern aesthetic with improved functionality—ideal for daily living and entertaining. Two updated bathrooms provide convenience and flexibility, while fresh interior paint and electrical improvements enhance the living experience. Natural light fills the home, creating an open, airy feel throughout, making the home feel larger and more inviting. A dedicated laundry area adds practicality, and two off-street parking spaces are a premium convenience. From a systems standpoint, the property is sewer lateral compliant—an often overlooked cost already handled. Simply move in and enjoy.
