Woodgrain, ceramic-tile steps lead up from the sidewalk to the enclosed porch. A leaded-glass door opens into the sun-filled room as four large vinyl windows surround the center doorway. The windows with screens allow for the porch to be used year-round. The woodgrain, ceramic-tile flooring fills the porch, and there is a large bi-fold storage closet.
Another updated entry door with leaded-glass window opens into the main living space as the living room allows for access to the other areas of the home. A decorative fireplace has ceramic-tile surround and a dentil wood mantel accent that complements the crown molding. Tucked into one corner is the staircase to the second floor. The steps have been updated with wood-laminate planks. An arched threshold opens into a flexible space, which is currently set up as a family room.
A glass-panel door opens from the living room into the eat-in kitchen. The kitchen has been updated with wood-laminate flooring and stainless-steel appliances. A window is above the sink and the cabinetry includes a pantry. Solid-surface counters provide ample workspace and there is a space for a breakfast table.
Off the kitchen is a combined full bathroom and laundry room. Ceramic tile fills the flooring and continues up the walls and into the walk-in shower. The shower has glass-block accent walls and a checkered ceramic-tile floor. The oversized vanity has a solid-surface sink and counter. The laundry space is large enough for the larger-sized washer and dryers.
The short hallway near the kitchen provides access to the basement stairwell and the back door that opens out to a large wooden deck. The deck has steps that lead down to a walkway to the backyard.
The basement has a concrete floor and above-grade vinyl windows. The gas forced-air furnace and water heater are tucked off to a side to allow for plenty of storage options as the basement does have studded-framed room divides.
Three bedrooms and a full updated bathroom are located on the second floor. The front two bedrooms have large bi-fold mirror-door closets and front-facing windows. All three bedrooms have crown molding and wood-laminate flooring that also flows into the upstairs hallway. A window air conditioning unit is strategically placed within the hallway window.
The full bathroom features a deep tub with ceramic-tile surround shower and a small window. The ceramic tile continues out and fills the wall space and complements the ceramic-tile floor. There is a single-sink vanity and a small linen cabinet.
