The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, newer appliances, and plenty of cabinetry plus a pantry for all your storage needs. The Family room off the kitchen boasts a vaulted ceiling, tons of natural light, and a mudroom area that exits to the large backyard with bluestone patio, oversized detached garage, plus fenced-in yard all backing up to 64.7 acres of woodland trails! Upstairs you will find all 4 generously-sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom has an updated en-suite bathroom plus 2 large closets, making it a comfortable retreat.
