About This Home

Welcome to this unique and spacious 5-level split home, offering an ideal blend of character, comfort, and modern updates. From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the oversized one-car garage and extended driveway, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. The fully fenced backyard is a true retreat, featuring a saltwater above-ground pool installed in May 2023, complemented by a generous deck perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the sun.

Step inside to an updated kitchen that shines with stainless steel appliances, upgraded countertops, and modern finishes that blend style with functionality. The home offers spacious bedrooms and a large family room, providing flexible living spaces suited to a variety of lifestyles. Hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout much of the home, enhancing its timeless appeal.

Recent improvements include a brand-new 40-year architectural shingle roof installed in February 2025, a new HVAC system and thermostat from 2022, and updated kitchen cooktop and counters completed in 2024. The refrigerator, washer, and dryer were all replaced in December 2021, offering peace of mind for years to come.

The living room features a fireplace that serves as a charming decorative focal point, although it has never been used. Additional storage is available in the attic, perfect for seasonal items or keeping your living spaces clutter-free.

This thoughtfully maintained and well-appointed home is move-in ready and offers a truly distinctive layout you won’t find just anywhere. Whether you're looking for space to grow or simply a comfortable and stylish place to call home, this property checks all the boxes.
