For 30 years, this Georgian-style home has been the place where a family grew, memories were made, and childhood friendships began.

Upgrades include Stainless Steel Appliances, Granite countertops, a breakfast bar tying in with the Dining Room and a super Garden Window that overlooks the Yard. Upstairs you'll find 3 Bedrooms that include ceiling fans and a Full bath with all ceramic tile flooring. Under all the Carpeting lies Hardwood Flooring that awaits to be finished- saving you time and money. Lastly, the basement is a great summer getaway that has ample space for a sectional, dedicated bar area with mini-fridge, custom shelving & lighting to showcase any collectibles, a 1/2 bath along with the Laundry Room (Washer, Dryer and Utility Sink). Rounding out the home is the spacious backyard with an oversized deck, Outdoor TV, and 2.5-car garage create even more room for storage, gathering, entertaining, and enjoying time together. Updated Windows, Appliances, and Garage + Roof complete the major recent improvements.
