Stepping through the front entrance you are instantly greeted by tons of natural light, a beautiful open floor plan, and refinished original hardwood floors. The black accents of the newly installed Anderson windows throughout the home add contrast and dimension to every space.

A beautiful powder room is hidden behind pocket doors with newly upgraded tiling and a marble countertop. Down the hall is the living room which is spacious and features tons of room for entertaining, a beautiful view of your expansive land, and a wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround. Continuing through to the dining room, you will find that it has tons of space to host even your biggest gatherings. You can access the back brick patio through the brand-new Anderson double doors in the dining room, making eating al fresco a must on warm summer nights. The open floor plan makes entertaining even easier as the dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen.
The kitchen, like the rest of the home, has been newly renovated and no detail has been missed in the heart of the home. The space is dripping with opulence featuring white quartzite countertops, Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances, a custom live edge wood dining table, and an induction stove. The kitchen also features soft-close custom cabinetry and an ample amount of storage space. A stunning wood-burning fireplace sits at the back of the kitchen giving the space a cozy feeling with a white brick surround. It’s the perfect place to have your cup of coffee on frigid mornings.

The bathroom features upgraded tiling throughout, a dual vanity with a marble countertop, and an abundance of cabinet space.
Heading downstairs, the completely finished basement boasts hardwood floors, freshly painted walls, an under-the-stairs nook perfect for reading your favorite book, and tons of space.
