## Description

### Agent Description
Charming and well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home priced under $200,000-an outstanding value with major updates already completed. Ideally located just a 5-minute drive from downtown and easily bikeable, this home offers convenient access to parks, dining, and everyday amenities, along with seamless freeway connectivity. Exterior updates include a new roof on both the home and garage (2022) and newly built front and back decks (2022), perfect for outdoor living. Solar panels installed in 2023 come with a 30-year warranty for long-term energy savings. Inside, enjoy a functional, inviting layout with included appliances-gas stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and new washer and dryer (2025). The spacious living room is filled with natural light and flows seamlessly to a large deck, fully fenced backyard, and firepit- creating the perfect indoor-outdoor setting for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings at home. Major systems updates include a new AC unit (2025), regularly serviced furnace, cleaned ductwork (2025), upgraded electrical panel and wiring (2023), and a maintained radon mitigation system. A detached one-stall garage with workshop attached adds extra flexibility for hobbies, storage, or workspace needs. With its combination of location, updates, and price point, this home is a standout opportunity for buyers seeking value and long-term efficiency.
