I have been excited to share this adorable Cape Cod in the heart of Kettering, on a large lot with a fenced in back yard. Talk about well maintained! These sellers have taken impeccable care of this home. The location could not be better, walking distance to shops, library, restaurants & parks. Everything has been done for you! Just this year the sellers added insulation in the attic. In 2024 a new garage door was installed. In 2023 the washer & dryer were replaced, and they do convey. New windows were installed upstairs in 2022. In 2018 a new roof was installed on the house and garage and gutter guards were installed. In 2016 the sellers did a complete gut remodel on the kitchen and they added insulation throughout the first floor, new living room windows and front door and the electric panel was upgraded. You have 3 bedrooms on the main floor and 1 upstairs. When the sellers finished the basement, they also added a half bathroom that could be turned into a full bathroom, if desired. Off of the kitchen is a very nice, private deck with a view of the beautiful backyard. Schedule your showing today!
