About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to your dream home! This beautifully designed newer bungalow offers the perfect blend of comfort and functionality, sitting on a generous 1.09-acre lot with a fully fenced backyard — ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying a game on the basketball goal. Inside, you’ll find 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, thoughtfully laid out for both privacy and togetherness. A versatile den with pocket doors offers a perfect home office, playroom, or guest space. Head upstairs to a cozy loft complete with built-in shelving — a great spot for a reading nook, homework zone, or media area.The heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen, featuring white cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. There's plenty of storage, and the kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area for easy entertaining. Coming in from the attached garage, you’ll love the extra-large back foyer with cubbies, keeping everything organized and out of sight. Step outside to enjoy the screened-in porch, perfect for morning coffee or summer evenings. The sprawling backyard offers room to run, play, garden, or even expand — and the basketball goal adds fun for all ages.
