Ideal for those who love to entertain, growing households, or anyone planning for the future, this home delivers comfort, functionality, and room to expand. From the moment you step onto the charming front porch and into the ceramic-tiled foyer, you'll feel right at home. The main level is filled with natural light. The formal living room features a large picture window overlooking the front yard and flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, where serene backyard views create the perfect backdrop for gatherings. The fully equipped kitchen offers generous countertop space, a breakfast bar, a built-in desk that doubles beautifully as a coffee station, and a cozy eating area with direct access to the oversized deck through the newer sliding glass door (2024).

The partially finished basement includes an egress window and offers endless potential for additional living space. A dedicated "music" or "studio" room provides a great spot for creative pursuits, hobbies, or quiet reading. Outside, the expansive yard is perfect for children, pets, and outdoor enjoyment. Enjoy beautiful, relaxing views of the lovely sunsets and the many perennials for those who enjoy gardening. The refreshed deck is ready for summer relaxation, and the lot easily accommodates a future pool if desired. Recent updates include: Radon mitigation system, garage door, and neutral interior paint (2025); Sliding glass door (2024); Deck (2018); Carpet and laminate flooring (2019); Roof (2011); HVAC system (2015).
