A massive paved circular driveway greets you when you arrive home, and a grand covered breezeway frames the front door. A custom reverse-style split entry awaits when you first step inside, and just downstairs, spacious sunlit living awaits. Here, a fireplace nestled amid classic brick, stone, and paneling details anchors the scene, adding textured visual intrigue to the welcoming aesthetic. Built in 1960, you’ll find many vintage elements throughout this home, and just as many updates. A new roof, updated panel, newer water heater, and a newer garage door on the shop rest alongside features like a furnace with a heat pump, double pane windows, and a total of 2 fireplaces for extra coziness!

On the other side of the living room’s fireplace, the dining area is ready for hosting mealtime gatherings, and the kitchen is conveniently adjacent. Here, a warm color palette is met with ample natural light, and the smart layout ensures that whipping up homemade meals and baking delicious treats is a breeze. You also have tons of storage for all of your kitchen essentials, and another standout highlight here is the sunny garden window above the kitchen sink! Keep your favorite plants and fresh herbs easily within reach. Plus, the laundry area is right around the corner; switch laundry loads while dinner simmers on the stove.

Even more versatile living space awaits upstairs, and here you have direct access to the deck. The primary suite also features deck access, so you can pop outside whenever the mood strikes to take in the fresh air and rejuvenating sunshine! A total of 4 bedrooms and 2.75 baths offer loved ones privacy and comfortable retreats to unwind in.


A 4-car garage and a detached 40’ x 25’ shop with a half basement are yours to transform as well. Of course, you can use this versatile square footage for parking and storage, but it’s also perfect for working on projects and hobbies.

With 1.53 acres of outdoor space, this property presents even more opportunity to cultivate the oasis you’ve been envisioning for yourself. The deck overlooks the park-like scene of mature landscaping, garden space, and a pond/waterfall feature. A sprinkler system helps to keep things looking lush, and you can admire the natural beauty while you relax on the covered patio or gazebo and de-stress in the hot tub.
