Step inside to an open, light-filled layout with engineered hardwood flooring, neutral tones, and a skylight that brightens the spacious living areas. A formal living and dining space at the front of the home is ideal for entertaining, while the cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace flows seamlessly into the kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, a stone backsplash, stainless-steel appliances—including a new low-decibel Kitchenaid dishwasher and a matching hood vent—plus a center island, breakfast bar, and generous cabinetry beneath a large skylight. The private primary suite features a charming bay window, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and stylish tile flooring.

Recent upgrades include fresh interior paint, updated exterior landscaping, new front and sliding glass doors (Anderson 100 series), 12 new windows, popcorn ceiling removal, and a beautifully renovated guest bath. Behind the scenes, the home is just as impressive: new roof (2019, 30-year dimensional shingles), HVAC replaced in 2018, new water heater (2019), new garage door and opener, all new ductwork, and added insulation for energy efficiency. With solid bones and thoughtful updates inside and out, this home offers exceptional value, modern comfort, and an unbeatable location. Schedule a showing today!
