The kitchen has been updated with newer appliances and a center island; the laundry room, a small bedroom and full bathroom are next to it. The big living room and formal dining room have been updated with bamboo flooring and modern colors. And that's just for starters. The current owners doubled the square footage in 2010 with a beautiful addition to add a family room and a primary huge bedroom suite with bathroom and a big walk-in closet. There is an upstairs with another bedroom and full bathroom and lots of storage. There is a partial cellar-type basement under the older part of the house and a crawlspace under the addition. Outside the family room, French doors open onto the patio for entertaining. Sitting on 3.5 lots on the corner, the yard is spacious and there is an attached carport for parking convenience. There is a small storage bldg (the large one does not stay). Very beautiful and move-in ready. Owner-occupied must call!
