WOW is what you say when you enter into this home! This 3 bedroom, 1.1 bath in Heartland Fields Subdivision has great updates that you'll fall in love with. Enter through the inviting front porch and into the formal living room with newer vinyl plank flooring and a large window to allow for natural lighting. Newer overhead lights make this room a wonderful place for a formal dining room/living room combo. The half bath with newer tile flooring and vanity is conveniently located between the living room and kitchen area. There is ample table space and seating in the breakfast bar area. The kitchen has new quartz countertops and backsplash, new tile flooring, newer stainless steel appliances, exterior venting for the range hood, and a deep sink. There is under-cabinet lighting and overhead lighting. It has an open concept as it adjoins the family room. What a great space for families to enjoy quality time together. The walk-in pantry can be used as a coffee bar area, a mud room, or the laundry can be relocated here (plumbing in the walls). Many possibilities exist for this spacious room. The family room has vinyl plank flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, and great views of the private backyard. What a lovely space for relaxing with the family and a cozy fire during the winter months.

The unfinished portion of the basement can be easily finished off with a fourth bedroom and rec room or a LARGE open rec room area - possibilities are endless. The large backyard is a clean slate and is surrounded by the neighbors' fences so filling in the gaps would be easy to do. There is also a two-car attached garage.
