Welcome to picturesque Tangley Oaks! 205 Bradford is the one you've been waiting for, offering the best of both worlds: a spacious two-story that lives like a RANCH home. Along a quiet cul-de-sac sits a gently winding newer ramp leading you to the gracious foyer, setting the tone for this inviting residence! The living room with a cozy fireplace and the adjacent dining room off the kitchen are filled with natural light from expansive windows that perfectly frame the stunning natural surroundings. Every season provides a breathtaking backdrop from this private, almost half acre premium lot. Every room feels like you are in a tree house! The large kitchen offers plenty of space for cooking and entertaining(room for a generous kitchen table), featuring access to the deck - ideal for summer BBQs. The family room addition is truly the heart of the home, boasting soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that create a bright, airy retreat. The first-floor primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and a large en suite bath. A powder room, attached two-car garage, and mudroom with convenient first-floor laundry complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three nice sized bedrooms with ample closet space, large windows, and another full bath. The lower level-with above-grade windows-offers fantastic rec space, complete with a wet bar, another full bathroom, and abundant storage. This neutral area is ready for your personal touch and updates! With a walk/bike-to-school, beach, and town location, this special home combines comfort, convenience, and natural beauty-don't wait, 205 Bradford won't last long! Welcome Home!
