Since purchasing, the current owner has installed an alarm system, security doors on the back, and replaced the microwave, washing machine and garbage disposal. The interior has been stylishly painted and new flooring was installed in the basement living space. The beautiful and spacious exterior was just recently and extensively hardscaped to include a rear parking pad enough for 2-3 cars or large patio for safe outdoor get-togethers and the back deck was expanded. A new front stone walkway was installed and a new porch roof with ceiling fan. You are all set for this spring and summer to entertain large groups safely. The neighborhood conveniences include Fort Totten Metro (< 1 mile), nearby bus stops, Giant grocery a few blocks, Walmart, and much more development on the way.
