All upper floor bedrooms have hardwood floors under the carpet. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are just steps away from the beautifully remodeled full bath with granite countertop, double sinks and a tub/shower combo. The primary bedroom offers you both tranquility and privacy. The bedroom is spacious and is adjoined by a sitting room leading to both your grand walk in closet and an amenity filled five piece master bath with dual shower heads in your spacious tiled shower, double sinks within your granite countertop, and your jetted soaking tub with a dedicated hot water heater. Moving to the lower level you will find an enormous finished room which could be used as an in-law suite or income suite as it offers a private entrance from your three car garage. It could also be used to accommodate multiple gaming tables and the adjacent bonus room can be used as a playroom, craft room, or home theater. The rear oversized lot is flat and open for your outdoor activities and includes a play set.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
