This ideal Golden Valley 2-story lies in a quiet, established, close-in neighborhood and features some very rare modern conveniences: A mud room?!?! Yep, right inside from the garage entrance. And, a family room open from the kitchen/dining area. AND... an extra bedroom and an updated full bathroom are tucked away in a separate wing of the main floor -- the perfect set-up for guests, or perhaps an older family member, or home office. The kitchen has newer cabinets and recently replaced stainless steel appliances, and updated granite countertops and tile backsplash. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms including a huge master and a bathroom that was remodeled in 2019 and boasts a dual vanity and walk-in shower. The lower level features a finished recreation room, recently finished laundry room and tons of storage space. The back yard is fenced and the maintenance-free deck boards and railings were replaced in 2017. New carpet on 2 levels and lots of fresh paint, too... move right in.
