    Welcome home! The pride of ownership in this home shows and is ready for you!

The main bathroom was completed by Re-bath. The living room, bedrooms and hallway have hardwood floors preserved under the carpeting. The basement has some finish with a non-conforming bedroom that could make a great office, den area, bathroom, laundry, and ample storage. The basement was waterproofed by American Perfection and has a warranty through 2029 and is transferable to the next homeowner. The backyard is fenced, has lovely perennials, and the gutter system by leaf guard which also has a transferrable warranty.
