Finally, a true 5 bedroom home is available in this great neighborhood! The owners have spared no expense upgrading and maintaining the home. There is a combination of value add features that are a rare find! As you approach the home, you'll immediately notice the sharp curb appeal and exterior improvements.

A dramatic 2 story entry welcomes you into the home. You'll love the open floor plan which is great for entertaining! The main level is highlighted by the eat-in kitchen. It's a cook's dream with brand new, never used stainless appliances, large island, granite countertops, 42" cabinets, double wall oven, and walk in pantry.
