From the moment you arrive, the pride of ownership is evident. You are welcomed by a bright, renovated three-season room (2015) featuring raised ceilings and new windows, which leads into a formal living room anchored by a meticulously kept wood-burning fireplace and elegant crown moldings. Throughout the main level, you will find gleaming hardwood floors and high-performance Anderson windows installed in 2015. The formal dining room, redesigned in 2020 with custom woodwork throughout, flows seamlessly into the chef's dream kitchen. Also gutted and replaced in 2020, this culinary space boasts vaulted ceilings with a skylight, quartz countertops, custom maple cabinetry, and premium JennAir appliances. Two spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the first floor, offering convenience and versatility. The second level, a masterpiece addition completed by Ideal in 2023, serves as a private primary sanctuary. This expansive suite features rich wood floors, recessed lighting, and custom built-in closets alongside a dedicated sitting area. The ensuite bathroom is a spa-like retreat, showcasing a custom shower, a double quartz vanity, and a sun-drenched skylight. Below, the full unfinished basement offers laundry facilities and massive storage potential. The exterior is equally impressive, featuring a private yard enclosed by a two-year-old fence and a detached one-car garage boasting brand-new siding and a new roof. The Seller is providing the buyer a one year Cinch home warranty at closing. For added peace-of-mind, sellers installed new sump pump and french drain with a lifetime warranty transferrable to new buyers. Don't miss the opportunity to own this perfectly placed, updated, and well cared for home. Showings start 02/14
