A welcoming entryway greets you with a peek-a-boo glimpse of the beautiful kitchen and a warm welcome into the spacious living room with beautiful blue painted built-ins. Adorn your lazy weekend mornings enjoying a book in the quaint cushioned bench reading area or enjoy the peaceful outdoor view of the backyard from the kitchen & dining area. The kitchen features freshly painted cabinets, Corian countertops, and timelessly tasteful white subway tile. Kitchen appliances were updated in 2020 and there is a reverse osmosis water filtration system outfitted for the kitchen drinking water tap and the water line to the fridge. Updated flooring in the main living, kitchen, and dining room in 2020. Additional main floor features of this home include a ½ bath and spacious laundry room/mud room that walks out to the backyard and connects to the 2-car attached garage. Upstairs features all the bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bathroom with custom vanity. The septic was replaced in 2020 for a 4-bedroom home, but some may find the 4th room more suitable for an office due to the size and no enclosed closet space. The basement level has a lot to offer as well! There is a large workshop, an additional room currently used as a workout space, and a storage space with shelving and a gear wall. Be sure to check out the custom swivel to rotate the TV to either room! Genius! There is also ample shelving to store all the things. Outside, the sellers have taken care to add a timed drip irrigation system on the front and back landscaping and the garden in the backyard. The roof is less than 2 years old, and the boiler system was replaced in 2020. The home is conveniently located just up the road from Hartley and a Trailhead! Nearly every space inside and out has been updated in the past 2 years. This home is a dream, and now it can become your reality!
