Parking - no worries, the oversized driveway can accommodate up to 7 vehicles. The driveway also has a thoughtfully crafted turnaround area for added convenience. Approaching the home, guests will be welcomed with an oversized front porch with a stunning blue accent door. The porch is a great place to watch thunderstorms or hang out with a beverage. Upon entering the home, you will get a glimpse of the state-of-the-art 70k+ renovated kitchen (2025). The kitchen has a tasteful backsplash, neutral quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry and drawers, stainless steel appliances, oversized island, and easy to maintain LVP flooring in a neutral tone. If that is not enough, the kitchen also has a large walk-in pantry for any extra storage needs. The quaint dining space provides an ambiance and warm cozy feel. The dining space also includes the original wood burning fireplace and matching LVP flooring from the kitchen. Continued from the dining space is a supersized (approximately 20x28) family room, an updated 1/2 bath, laundry facilities, and a prefabricated wood burning fireplace. The family room leads to a second covered porch with a new patio (2025), and a fully fenced yard. The stairwell and second floor have beautiful hardwood flooring with three bedrooms including an oversized primary bedroom with a large ensuite updated bath with Jacuzzi tub. The 2nd floor hall bath has also been tastefully renovated (2023). The lower level has great rental potential with 2 added bedrooms, separate entrance, laundry hookups, full bath, kitchenette, common areas to accommodate guests or keep as a work-out room. Enjoy the in-home sauna for those long days or hard workouts. Other updates include sleek European radiators (2023) and replaced retaining wall with added drainage (2024). Finally, this home has no carpet -- all hard surfaces for easy maintenance. This home is ready for a new owner to enjoy, so schedule an appointment to see this very special home today!
