As you walk up to this house you’ll be impressed by the perennial beds and the nice lawn but you need to get inside this home to fully appreciate this 3 BR, 1.5 bath home.  Located just 2 blocks from a large city park and a 2 minute bike ride from the White Pine Bike Trail.  The kitchen was gutted to the studs and rebuilt completely from a clean slate.  Cooks will love this kitchen with a multitude of all new cabinetry and tons of storage, a center island with stainless steel top, and a beautiful refinished wood floor. In the kitchen area is also a small half bath.  Move right in with a newer range, refrigerator and dishwasher all included in the sale. The huge dining room will hold a table large enough for your entire family, in addition to a hutch and desk, and the living room boasts big windows, a high ceiling and an attractive wood floor.  Upstairs you’ll find 3 terrific bedrooms with an abundance of closet space, a large full bath with lots of storage and a generous landing area that could be used as a study or reading nook.  The stairway, bedrooms, and upstairs hallway recently received brand new carpet and pad.  Off the kitchen is a sunny, carpeted, three-season porch that leads out to a 12 x 14’ deck and a landscaped, privacy-fenced backyard.  Finally, there is a 12 x 20’ workshop with built in workbenches, electricity and lots of shelving.

The basement represents the same footprint as the house itself and has a concrete floor.  While the basement is not conducive to finishing, there is plenty of storage space here with a completely open floor plan and two smaller rooms in the rear corners that could be used for storage of your canned veggies or for over-wintering your plants.  An older but fully operational washer and gas dryer pair are also included.

Stay comfortable all year round with a high efficiency gas furnace in the winter and central A/C in the summer.  You’ll also find a power-vented 40 gallon gas water heater along with a hot water circulator so you always have hot water in the full bath.  All of the original windows were replaced with custom argon-filled, low E glass ones that feature tip-in cleaning and all 4 of the wooden exterior doors have been replaced with foam core steel ones.  In January 2006 the roof received a complete tear off and new Architectural shingles.  Parking is off street with plenty of room for 2 full-sized cars.

You really need to get inside this home to appreciate what it has to offer.  Move in at close with IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY, and don’t forget to include the $8000 new home buyer incentive into your pricing calculations.
