A welcoming 280-square-foot front porch, added in 2023, features low-maintenance Trex decking, a wood beadboard ceiling, lighting, fans, and a new roof, creating the perfect three-season retreat nestled among beautifully landscaped gardens. Inside, the beautifully remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, showcasing rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, ceramic tile flooring, a newer microwave/range vent (2024), and a new disposal (2026). Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout most of the home, while two fireplaces add warmth and character to the inviting living spaces. The elegant living room is highlighted by a gas fireplace and custom built-in shelving added in 2021. The updated bathrooms offer stylish finishes and modern convenience, including a primary bath renovation and upstairs bathroom updates completed in 2026. Additional recent improvements include a new Speed Queen washer (2024), Speed Queen dryer (2023), radon mitigation system (2025), and new basement flooring (2026).

Major exterior improvements completed in 2024 include a new roof, oversized gutters, French drains, and downspouts, offering peace of mind for years to come. Set on a spacious lot, the property is a gardener's dream with vibrant blooming landscapes featuring roses, hydrangeas, peonies, daylilies, hostas, raised garden beds, apple trees, and a raspberry patch.
