About This Home
As of June 2025This spacious and versatile 4-bedroom, 2-bath two-story home sits on a 1/3 acre fully fenced lot, offering comfort, updates, and flexibility. Fresh paint throughout most of the home gives it a clean, modern feel, while large closets and abundant storage provide everyday practicality. Two main floor rooms can serve a variety of purposes—home office, guest room, playroom, or flex space—tailored to your needs. The oversized 2.5-car garage is a true bonus with heat and updated electrical, making it ideal for a workshop, hobby space, or extra storage. A new roof was installed in 2021, adding long-term peace of mind. All appliances stay with the home, and a full ADT security system—complete with cameras and remotes—is also included for added convenience and safety. Step out back to enjoy the huge screened-in porch, perfect for relaxing or entertaining without the bugs. With its smart layout, generous lot, and practical features, this home is ready for its next chapter.
