Step inside to discover a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout featuring modern finishes and SMART home upgrades throughout. Every light, outlet, and switch has been thoughtfully enhanced to bring convenience and comfort to your daily living. The open-concept main level flows seamlessly from a welcoming front porch into a spacious living area and designer kitchen, complete with a first-floor laundry room and powder bath tucked privately behind the kitchen. The primary suite is a standout, offering its own full bathroom for added privacy and comfort. With a total of 1,100+ sqft of well-utilized space and the advantage of being an end-of-row corner unit, you’ll enjoy extra natural light and the largest outdoor footprint on the block—perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors.
