A charming and expansive front porch with ceiling fans warmly welcomes you and sets the tone for the inviting spaces inside. The main level features gleaming hardwood floors and a spacious, versatile layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

To the left, a generous formal dining room showcases crown and chair rail molding, hardwood floors, and a cozy electric fireplace. The dining area opens to a sun-filled eat-in kitchen featuring new quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances. Just beyond the kitchen is a comfortable family room with a wood-burning fireplace and hardwood floors, with direct access to the large redwood deck crafted from Sequoia forest lumber, overlooking a peaceful and private backyard retreat. The main level also includes a large office/craft room addition, laundry room, half bath, and generous pantry/closet space. Upstairs you will find all four spacious bedrooms, including a sizeable primary suite sanctuary with an updated bath featuring a skylight and a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms offer ample closet space and share a large updated dual-vanity full bath

The walk-out lower level features a finished recreation/family room along with abundant unfinished space perfect for storage, a workshop, or future expansion. Freshly painted throughout with new carpet, lighting, cabinet hardware. Move-in ready and perfectly prepared to welcome its next family. Step outside to an expansive professionally landscaped backyard oasis, truly a gardener’s dream, complete with a greenhouse and winter firewood storage area.
