As of December 2025

A thoughtfully remodeled, quality built home with modern finishes! Back on the market due to previous buyer's inability to sell their home.Imagine sun-drenched mornings under a dramatic cathedral ceiling. The airy, expansive feel in the main living areas complementing the updated kitchen with its custom cabinetry, granite counters that offer impressive breakfast bar seating and stainless steel appliances. Find great flex space through glass french doors - do you prefer an intimate family room or striking home office? All are just steps to the inviting brick paver patio and fully fenced yard that provide the ideal backdrop for gatherings, gardening, or quiet relaxation. Three bedrooms and two updated full bathrooms round out the main level living spaces. You'll appreciate the convenience of an attached garage and additional side apron parking. In addition to laundry space, the basement has room for your home gym or just plenty of room for storage! Low maintenance Brick and Vinyl siding, Furnace and A/C 2012. The front yard's pollinator garden is loved by butterflies! Unique plantings continue throughout the fenced backyard. Great location, easy access to main road, yet located on a low traffic, no thru street. Don't miss this blend of classic appeal and contemporary comfort!
