STOP THE CAR — inventory in this area is EXTREMELY scarce and this one is loaded with upgrades! Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Forest Park II, this beautifully updated 2012 Joe Hardy built home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a highly desirable layout, and the kind of move-in ready condition buyers are fighting to find right now! Positioned on a corner lot with additional parking availability thanks to its cul-de-sac location, this property brings curb appeal, functionality, and major updates all wrapped into one package. Inside, you'll immediately notice the updated vinyl flooring installed in 2021, fresh tile flooring in the baths and kitchen, upgraded light fixtures throughout, and a gorgeous brick accent wall feature in the living area that gives the home warmth and character. The kitchen has been refreshed with Frigidaire appliances, a brand-new dishwasher, updated electrical plugs throughout the home, and thoughtful touches that make everyday living easy. Additional upgrades include new toilets in 2021, a new electric hot water heater, upgraded flower beds, a brand-new porch and patio area ideal for entertaining, and an 8-foot privacy fence creating the perfect backyard setup for gatherings, pets, or simply relaxing at the end of the day. The roof was replaced after the hurricane, and the property is currently maintained under pest control service for added peace of mind. Located in Flood Zone X where flood insurance is typically not required by lenders, with current taxes approximately $1,400 annually. Homes in the Maplewood school district — especially updated homes with this much already completed — do NOT hit the market every day. If you've been waiting for a clean, updated, low-maintenance home in a location buyers consistently ask for… this is your chance before someone else grabs it first!
