All appliances stay, including the brand-new washer and dryer. Both bathrooms have been completely transformed with beautiful designer finishes, while recessed lighting throughout, new light fixtures, and fresh interior and exterior paint give the entire home a polished, cohesive feel. And the updates go well beyond what you see: a completely brand-new HVAC system, including a new furnace, ductwork and new outside unit, new double-pane windows, new doors throughout, a new electrical panel and wiring, new plumbing throughout, a new roof, new gutters, and a new water heater. A Nest thermostat adds everyday convenience, and the all-electric setup means no separate gas bill, just water and power for your utilities. In this economy, that is not a small perk, it is a monthly luxury. Say goodbye to the gas bill and hello to keeping a little more money in your pocket for the things you actually want. Set on a quarter-acre lot, the home offers an amazing flat backyard enclosed by a privacy fence, with plenty of room to play, entertain, or simply relax and enjoy your own outdoor retreat.
