This home’s outdoor setting is just one of its best features. You will spend every moment possible in the soothing screened porch and patio with hot tub surrounded by nature to relax, read, dine, and entertain with your private tree-lined view for years to come. Back inside on the main level are three bedrooms and a full bath with dual vanity, a powder room for guests, and a perfectly-placed and equipped laundry room just off the kitchen. Upstairs, you will find the Primary Suite with vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet with built-in shelving and en-suite bath with dual vanity. A partial basement offers plenty of space for storage or extra living space in the future, should your needs require it, and bonus features of this home include an oversized driveway, option for electric car charging in the garage, solar energy panels supplying 33% of your total electric annually, and a 22kw propane generator which can supply power to the whole house in case of a power outage.
