### Agent Description
This beautifully updated 3-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of modern upgrades, comfort, and value. The remodeled kitchen features white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with contemporary finishes. Additional improvements include updated electrical, fully updated insulation, new wood siding (2022), new windows (2022), and brand-new gutters installed in August 2026. The spacious family room features a cozy wood-burning brick fireplace, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The unfinished basement includes partially tiled flooring and an egress window, providing natural light, excellent storage, and future finishing potential. Outside, enjoy a detached 2-car garage, deck, patio, mature trees, and a spacious backyard. Conveniently located right next to Madison Elementary School with quick access to I-235 and I-80/I-35.
