The large main laundry room has a walk-out to a 12' x 24' Trex deck. One bedroom is on the main level and could serve as a dining room if one desired as well as a full bathroom with a vintage claw foot tub.

Additionally you will find another huge 4-piece bathroom with a claw foot tub and stand up shower. New paint and carpet throughout. There is a large, fenced back yard to enjoy those summer days equipped with auto sprinklers and drip system. Don't miss the wall of fragrant Lilac bushes in the rear yard. The 864 s.f oversize, detached 2-car garage with a spacious shop space was a great addition in 2008 and offers tons of workbenches, is fully insulated and has private alley access. All updated vinyl windows throughout the entire home with pleated blinds throughout the main level. This home had a new roof in 2014 to include all sheathing and shingles.
