About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to the desirable Exeter neighborhood!
Surrounded by beautiful mature foliage, this peaceful and family-friendly community offers privacy and a serene setting for this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home. Step inside to a spacious living room featuring a vaulted ceiling and a cozy brick fireplace, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The large eat-in kitchen includes an island and plenty of counter space, while the formal dining or flex room boasts classic hardwood floors. The primary suite offers a true retreat with a jetted tub, double shower, dual-sink vanity, and private water closet. Each bedroom features generous closet space, and the oversized laundry room provides extra convenience. Outside, you'll find a fully fenced yard, an automatic doggy door leading to the back porch, and a handy workshop located under the home with its own exterior entrance; ideal for DIY projects or extra storage. This home has been lovingly cared for over the years, with many thoughtful updates that add comfort and value. Recent improvements include new vinyl windows installed in 2018, a new roof with architectural shingles and a new gas package unit added in 2017, and fresh carpet and paint completed in 2021. The side-entry two-car garage features brand-new doors (2023), and the stucco exterior was professionally inspected with an EIFS report in 2020. The crawlspace has been conveniently encapsulated; the septic system was also serviced and pumped in 2022, ensuring everything is ready for its next owners. Don't miss your chance to make this beautifully cared-for home in Exeter yours!
