About This Home

Proudly offered by its original owner, this beautifully maintained two-story home blends timeless curb appeal and everyday comfort. The exterior features a classic brick-and-siding facade, a welcoming covered front porch, and a two-car garage with a wide concrete driveway. Step inside the two-story foyer that opens to a formal front living room with large windows that flood the space with natural light. In the center of the home, you have the kitchen, which offers rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and updated LVP flooring that seamlessly connects to the formal dining area and the impressive family room. The extended family room has vaulted ceilings, built-in shelving, and a sliding glass door just waiting for a new deck or patio. One of the standout features of the first floor is the versatile sunroom—complete with a wood-paneled ceiling, vibrant accent wall, and walls of windows just perfect for a home office, hobby space, or relaxation retreat. Heading upstairs, you will find two bedrooms, a full bath, and the primary suite. The extra-large primary suite features ample closet space and a full ensuite bathroom. Don't forget the full basement, perfect for storage or an at-home gym that already has a half bath with it! Everything the inside has to offer, the outside has even more, with mature landscaping and an abundance of plants that only come from years of love and care. Have peace of mind with updated flooring, paint, and a newer water heater and HVAC. This home will be gone before you know it; with its convenient location to 95, RT1, shopping, and more, make your appointment today!
