About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to this exceptional 3-4 bedroom, 3-bath ranch-style home offering approximately 1,700 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Set on a beautifully fenced corner lot, this property features a private patio with an included Weber grill connected to a natural gas line - ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The home's stylish exterior showcases premium James Hardie siding in a rich iron gray color, accented with distinctive staggered-edge panels for timeless curb appeal. An attached two-car garage with an epoxy floor opens into a convenient mudroom that keeps daily life organized and functional. Step inside to a stunning open-concept living and dining area featuring a graceful tray ceiling, recessed lighting, and a cozy fireplace. The light-filled remodeled kitchen is a showstopper with granite countertops, custom Amish cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, a peninsula with seating and prep sink, and hardwood floors flowing throughout the main level. The primary suite is truly impressive, offering a completely remodeled spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, separate shower, and a generous walk-in closet. The guest bath is equally stylish, featuring modern fixtures and a smart layout. A dedicated study area provides the perfect space for a remote office or homework nook. The lower level expands your living space with a spacious family room featuring porcelain heated floors, a fourth bedroom or flexible workout/office space, and a remodeled .75 bathroom that is adjoined with the laundry nook. An enormous concrete crawlspace offers abundant, easily accessible storage. This home is in absolute move-in ready condition, professionally decorated, and showcases exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout. Enjoy your tour and make yourself at home!
