The finished basement offers tons of storage, and outside you'll enjoy an amazing, fenced backyard with its own fireplace, large patio, and a two-car garage. The home has also been thoughtfully maintained with many recent updates, including two new garage doors, a refrigerator, and a dryer in 2025; new roof on the house 2016, a hot water heater in 2024; a dishwasher in 2023; and a Ring camera and kitchen sink & faucet in 2022. Additional improvements include leaf guards added in 2020, an upstairs air conditioner and commercial-grade dehumidifier in 2017, a McLean boiler in 2014, and a whole-house generator in 2011.
