About This Home
As of May 2020WOW. This home is a stunner. Starting with the curb appeal, it won't disappoint! Corner property, 1/3 acre, fenced in, extended driveway and full front porch. Backyard is an entertainers dream with a grilling area, firepit, hot tub, pergola and dining area, (AND a separate space for kids to play). Honestly the inside is completely unexpected... in the best way possible! For starters, the ENTIRE 1st and 2nd levels are vinyl plank flooring-- no carpets! Farm-country decor is built into every room in this house, starting with the two-story entryway and feature wall with hooks mounted for hanging coats or backpacks. Living room and dining room are spacious with lots of natural sunlight and you guessed it, no carpets! Rear of the home will quickly be your favorite place to hang out... spacious open-concept family room and completely up-to-date kitchen with white cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counters, pendant lighting, soft-close drawers and more! Even the pantry and laundry room are exciting with their farmhouse touches! There's also an office/flex room on the main level for your many home quarantine needs! Upstairs are 4 spacious bedrooms, hall bathroom, and master bathroom (both updated). Master suite has a huge walk in closet and the spa-bathroom is the perfect retreat after a long day! The basement has TONS of storage space and possibilities for the creative minds out there. Take a private tour (keeping appropriate social distance) of this GORGEOUS new listing today! And buy it up while the rates are still historically low! *Virtual tour coming Thursday 3/26.
