Step outside to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature from the composite deck overlooking the expansive, fenced-in lawn, complete with a shed for storing your lawn and garden equipment. This home is filled with updates, including a new hot water heater and microwave (2023), an architectural shingle roof with a transferable warranty, a composite deck (2022), a refrigerator (2021), sunroom carpet, and main-level window treatments (2020), and lower level laminate flooring—all adding incredible value.
