About This Home

As of July 2025

YOUR FOREVER HOME AWAITS WHERE EVERY ROOM TELLS A STORY! Welcome to a home that speaks to the heart. Nestled in a serene setting with a tranquil pond view and beautifully landscaped, fenced-in yard, this spacious 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath haven offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and functionality, all in a location close to everything you need. The lovely brick paver sidewalk and patio area and porch, will bring you into the gracious two-story foyer that sets the tone for the warm, inviting spaces that follow. Entertain in style in the formal dining room and living room, or relax with family and friends in the family room just off the large eat-in kitchen, complete with abundant maple cabinetry, generous counter space, a pantry closet, and all appliances are included. Creating your favorites here will be a pleasure! The heart of the home is where memories are made, and this kitchen was designed for both daily life and festive gatherings. Off the kitchen is a butler's pantry, giving you that extra space while entertaining. The 1/2 bath is conveniently located on the main level, and the laundry room with a sink gives access to the 3-car garage. A true standout, the four-season sunroom, featuring a charming wood-burning stove, beckons year-round enjoyment and seamless connection to the beautiful outdoors. Upstairs, you'll find the master suite with a full bath, including a separate shower, soaking tub, vanity with two sinks, and a walk-in-closet. Three more nice-sized bedrooms with closets, and an additional full bathroom complete this level. The finished basement extends the home's versatility with a recreation room, and 5th bedroom featuring an egress window and closet, ideal as well as an office, workshop, or creative studio. Storage space won't be a problem as there is a utility room, and crawl spaces. Step outside to discover a combination of brick paver patios and a pergola, all surrounded by thoughtful landscaping and nature's beauty. There's even the addition of a sweet playhouse! Imagine relaxing in the sunroom or on the patio with the peaceful view of the pond and western skyline! Located near schools, shopping, restaurants, downtown, and with easy access to I-88, this home truly has it all-space, style, comfort, and convenience. Abundant windows, ceiling fans, and lights throughout as well as several transoms! The sellers have loved this home since they built it! Now it's your turn to make it your own!
