Description

Beautifully remodeled home offering modern updates and timeless charm. The updated kitchen features white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with modern finishes. Additional improvements include updated electrical and fully updated insulation for added comfort and energy efficiency. Currently configured as a 2-bedroom home, the main-floor laundry room can easily be converted back into a third bedroom by relocating the laundry to the basement. Enjoy a spacious family room with a cozy brick fireplace. The unfinished basement features a partially tiled floor and an egress window, providing natural light and excellent storage or future finishing potential. Conveniently located near Madison Elementary School with quick access to I-235 and I-80/I-35. Outside, you'll find a detached 2-car garage, deck, patio, mature trees, and a spacious backyard. Move-in ready and waiting for its next owner!
