Enjoy laid-back hangouts gathered around the kitchen island, spend mealtimes in the adjacent dining area catching up with loved ones, and relax in the family room where a grand gas fireplace serves as a focal point to build the room around. Sliding doors lead right out into the backyard, too, expanding your space during warmer months and providing ideal indoor-outdoor living flow! Plus, when you need to cool things down inside, A/C is at the ready. 

The main level also features a bedroom/office; consider using it for work from home and/or a guest suite! The main level bath includes a walk-in shower for added convenience. Upstairs, 3 additional bedrooms, a bonus room, and the primary suite all await. In the primary suite, discover a truly special and sumptuous experience; the spacious bedroom layout features vaulted ceilings and more than enough room for a sitting area. The walk-in closet is ready for you to move right in and start to get organized, and the spa-inspired bath is the real star of the show! Intricate tile design ties the space together, the corner soaking tub is bathed in rejuvenating natural light, and details like neat trim add an extra element of sophistication.

Within the last 10 years, this home has seen many updates. The roof, furnace, sewer line, water heater, exterior paint, and garage are all newer. Practical upgrades are aplenty, and more cosmetic updates are in the mix as well. You’ll also find brand new carpet, an updated kitchen with new appliances, and an updated main bath complete with a new vanity, tile backsplash, paint, and hardware. Plus, a new fence in the backyard is being installed this July. 

This home’s exterior shows off the type of dialed-in curb appeal that inspires passersby to do a double take!

From the entryway, the layout unfolds into the living room, a bright and cheerful haven ready for gathering. The fireplace is flanked by beautiful built-ins, while gorgeous hardwoods with intricate detailing and crisp trimwork show off this home’s vintage character.

Of course, this home has a highly functional layout, and this means that the kitchen is right at your fingertips from the dining room. The updated kitchen (boasting new appliances!) is absolutely dreamy and features style straight from the glossy pages of a home design magazine! Fresh white contrasts with bold, vibrant blue, and tasteful gold elements punctuate this on-trend scene. One of the very best things about the kitchen (and adjacent eat-in area) is all of the storage you’ll find—you really can never have enough storage for kitchen essentials, and this space delivers!

This home includes a total of 2 baths and 4 bedrooms; 2 bedrooms are on the main level, and 2 are upstairs. Each bedroom provides a large layout and brand new plush carpets. The main bath is especially not to be missed—contemporary additions work well with this home’s overall aesthetic. Even more versatile space awaits in the finished basement. 

This large lot includes a fully fenced backyard (with a new fence being installed in July!). Dynamic space is ready for making memories—host and relax on the deck, keep an eye on little ones having fun with the amazing playset or riding scooters on the paved area, and enjoy having room for storing gardening tools and toys in the detached garage. Additionally, the alley off the back is paved.
