A sleek electric fireplace adds just the right touch of coziness and modern comfort.Flow through to the dining room, ideal for entertaining, then into the spacious rear kitchen, which blends practicality with personality. Here, you will find durable Corian countertops, tile flooring, recessed lighting, and plentiful cabinetry. A stainless steel Samsung French-door refrigerator and Frigidaire range with built-in microwave complete the setup, while a wall-mounted A/C unit keeps the entire main level comfortable and a handy storage nook by the back door adds smart functionality.Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features stylish five-year-old laminate flooring with a special surprise—original hardwoods still preserved underneath, visible in the closet and ready to be uncovered if desired.

A full hall bath with vintage tile rounds out the upper level, offering a clean, functional space with room to add your own touch over time. The finished basement provides a large, flexible area that can adapt to your needs—whether for storage, hobbies, a home gym, or extra hangout space. A glass block bar brings a fun retro vibe, while a convenient powder room (with a new toilet and sink both installed 12/2024), built-in bench, and laundry area with a 2022 Speed Queen washer and dryer set make the space as functional as it is versatile. Utilities and mechanicals are smartly tucked away.Out back, enjoy a private, fully paved yard with a covered patio—low-maintenance and perfect for grilling or relaxing outdoors.
