About This Home

As of September 2025

This beautifully renovated home offers the ideal layout for today's lifestyle. The central foyer is just off of the spacious sunken living room, complete with a cozy fireplace and ample space for multiple seating areas, dining, or game nights. The formal dining room seamlessly connects to the professionally designed custom kitchen, outfitted with top-tier appliances (2021), stone counters, and thoughtful details-The kitchen sink offers views of the backyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. A sunny den with corner built-ins, a bedroom, and a stylish powder room (2018), round out the main level. Step out from the kitchen's mudroom addition (2021) to the paver patio, garden beds, green space, and the refurbished 2-car garage (2024) with a new roof, floor, and door. Upstairs, you'll find three generous bedrooms with organized double-door closets, built-ins, and space for desks or play. The two rear bedrooms share a freshly remodeled (2018) family bath with double sinks, while the spacious primary suite offers a serene retreat with a luxurious bath-featuring a walk-in shower, double vanity and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The fully finished basement (2022) includes a large family room, a third full bath, a finished workout/storage room and laundry area. Most windows were replaced in 2017, bringing efficiency and comfort throughout. Other major updates include-new ductwork, furnace and air conditioning (2017), water heater (~2021) and drain tile system (2020) on top of the major kitchen and bathroom renovations-making this home truly move-in ready. Situated on a corner lot with easy access to parks and in the sought-after Mann Elementary School district, this is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully upgraded home in a wonderful community.
