The back yard is anchored by a recently power-washed wooden deck, a swing set, and two sheds for all your yard toys. Out front, perennials add pops of color and a wide paved driveway (plenty of parking!) leads to the white home with royal blue accents. Before heading inside, note that rocking chair front porch for taking in all the good vibes. The owner recently installed new security lighting, too. Inside, the engineered oak floors and updated lighting fixtures make the space shine! In addition to the main level bedroom (!), youll find a half bath, the dining/living room off the main deck and the visibly updated kitchen.

Just off the kitchen, there is a brand-new side door leading to an updated landing/side deck (new steps and handrail). Back inside and off the kitchen is a bi-fold door closet that houses the laundry machinery. The machinery conveys!
