About This Home
As of December 2024Welcome to this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home in the Briarcliffe Knolls neighborhood, where no detail has been overlooked! Thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained, this home is a showcase of high-end finishes, modern conveniences, and luxurious touches. Upon entering, you'll immediately appreciate the beautiful new hardwood floors installed throughout the first floor in 2021. The gorgeous kitchen, remodeled in 2021, boasts new stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, a stunning 11-foot quartz island, and a convenient pot filler. A sliding glass door leads from the kitchen to a newly added brick paver patio (2022), perfect for entertaining. Step outside to discover a brand-new outdoor kitchen, installed just weeks ago in 2024, ideal for outdoor dining and gatherings. Inside, you'll find Pella windows, 6-panel oak doors, and an updated 200-amp electrical panel (2018), demonstrating the quality and care in every corner of this home. The sunroom, added in 2018, offers a relaxing space with remote-controlled window treatments, a feature also in the kitchen. Each bedroom features ample closet space and in one bedroom can double as an office or a cozy sitting room. The home's recent upgrades ensure comfort and peace of mind, including a new A/C unit (2021), furnace (2018), and water heater (2016). A new sump pump w/ additional back-up and battery systems, along with recent waterproofing (2024) by US Waterproofing, provide worry-free protection for the basement, which comes with a transferable warranty. The stamped concrete driveway, recently sealed, adds to the curb appeal of this beautifully landscaped property, which also includes a full irrigation system. The property also has new siding, gutters, and downspouts installed in 2016, ensuring a fresh exterior look and durability for years to come. Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with a four-zone audio system, allowing music to flow throughout the home and outdoor spaces.
