Welcome Home to this beautifully renovated single-family detached home in Essex at an affordable IMPROVED price! Why rent when you can own for about the same monthly cost! This home has been completely updated from top to bottom, front to back (down to the studs) and offers the perfect blend of modern finishes and comfortable living. Upon entry in to the home you will be pleasantly pleased with the soaring 8-foot ceilings, open-concept main level with a front to back view through the LR, DR and kitchen. Two bedrooms, a full bath with laundry tucked away in a closet and your very own coffee bar complete this level. As you make your way through the main level, take time to note the brand-new LVP flooring, new LED recessed lighting, new trendy light fixtures throughout and MOST OF ALL -- the tranquil, zen-like neutral color palette that welcomes you HOME. If you're a coffee lover - you have your very own private coffee bar with trendy lighting, granite wall-mounted counter where you will sit, sip and enjoy your morning coffee (also a charging station for electronics), OR, you may prefer the outdoors for your a.m. coffee. In that case, through the kitchen out to your new 10 x 20 back deck that's also perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying warm evenings! Back inside, the LR offers ample space for a generous-sized wall-mounted TV and bask in the drenching sunlight that flows through the tall windows throughout this level. The LR flows through to your DR space and into your stunner of a kitchen that features white, soft-close wood cabinetry, granite countertops, new SS fridge and gas stove. While you are viewing, you have to take a minute to turn on the under-cabinet lighting!! The full bath on this level features a tub/shower combo with ceramic tile surround, trendy finishes, ample shelving and a NEW stackable washer/dryer. You will also be pleased with the BR sizes on this level. Bonus - the front BR features a window seat for hours of reading or just people watching! Also, 2 closets in this BR. Upstairs, you'll find the 3rd bedroom that offers its own private en-suite featuring a walk-in shower with ceramic tile surround - showcasing stylish neutral finishes. The basement is gravel and unfinished but houses the utilities (basement space is about 4 feet tall and would not be feasible for living space).
