About this home
All major upgrades are complete in this move-in-ready 3-bed, 2-bath home, which features owned solar panels and extremely low utility costs. Pride of ownership shines throughout this beautifully maintained property. Recent improvements include new siding, Andersen windows, composite decking, vinyl fencing, a concrete driveway, new appliances, and a first-floor laundry. To further reduce utility bills, the seller has installed energy-efficient wall-mounted heating and cooling units throughout the home. The seller currently receives credits back from the electric company, making this home as efficient as it is beautiful. Additional highlights include hardwood floors, a large kitchen, a finished basement with a walkout, and a gas-line-connected fire pit perfect for outdoor gatherings on the beautiful composite deck.
