Step inside and you'll find an inviting front foyer and an open floor plan with a cozy gas log fireplace in the living room, new carpet throughout, and an updated kitchen featuring sleek quartz counters and a full set of appliances - washer and dryer included and new water purification system with an additional kitchen tap for convenience - making this truly move-in ready. The primary suite is set apart from the other bedrooms, creating a private retreat complete with dual closets and an oversized en-suite with dual vanities. Three additional bedrooms and updated guest bath with a stylish tile surround shower, provide plenty of space for everyone. An additional main floor room can easily flex as a 5th bedroom, den, or family room, while a convenient half bath off of the kitchen adds extra functionality. A large mudroom off the garage and four separate entry points make the layout practical for any lifestyle. This home shines inside and out with thoughtful updates at every turn. A new furnace and AC in 2019, freshly tuck-pointed basement bricks, and fully insulated crawl spaces ensure efficiency and comfort. Outside, a new cement driveway, front door, rear walkway, and professional landscaping enhance the curb appeal, while the landscape and illumination package makes the home glow at night. The garage door also features a custom screened garage door feature, creating the perfect spot to enjoy evenings. The newly added 20x8 flex space with french doors is ideal for gardening or storage. Sitting proudly on a large corner lot with an irrigation system, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and functionality.
