October 2026 updates include new paint and knobs on the kitchen cabinets, new countertops and backsplash, and a new garbage disposal. The family room has new drywall, paint, and trim. The basement has new carpet and new paint. The garage was built new in 2017 from the ground up, insulated and drywalled, with a new driveway the same year. A back foyer connects the garage to the home, with room for storage. A 2020 garage door screen lets it work as a garage, a man cave, a she shed, or a game room. Also in 2017: a steel roof, steel siding, house wrap with 1/2-inch foil-faced foam insulation, blown-in insulation, Kensington windows, a Therma-Tru front door, a sliding glass door, an electrical panel, and soffit and fascia. Storm doors were added in 2018. Gutters, downspouts, and gutter guards were added in 2016. The main-level full bath was fully updated in 2015. The kitchen has a 2024 refrigerator and dishwasher and a 2020 faucet. Out back, a deck, pergola, and patio make an easy spot to sit, grill, or enjoy a quiet evening. Other updates include cleaned HVAC ductwork in 2025, a new thermostat in 2024, a new sump pump in 2022, a new sewer line from the street to the house in 2021, and a new water heater in 2020. About 1,878 sq ft, with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a full basement that is partially finished. The basement has a full bathroom, so if an egress window is added, it could be used as a third bedroom. Ask your agent for the full update list, and schedule your private showing.
