About This Home

Welcome to 5 Linden Spring Lane, a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath Colonial with a 2-car garage, tucked away in the sought-after community of Country Woods. This lovingly cared for home combines timeless charm with thoughtful updates throughout. Step inside to find gleaming hardwood floors that flow through the foyer, living room, dining room, and family room. Abundant natural light pours in through NEW windows throughout the home, creating bright and inviting living spaces. The updated eat-in kitchen features raised-panel cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, granite countertops, tile backsplash, a deep double sink, stainless steel appliances, and French doors leading to the expansive screened porch. Open to the family room, this space is ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The family room offers recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, an electric fireplace insert with mantle, and additional access to the screened porch. The spacious living room faces the front of the home and is drenched in natural light from a wall of windows, providing a wonderful gathering space. The formal dining room features chair rail and crown molding, making it perfect for both casual meals and holiday celebrations. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, including the spacious primary suite with an updated bath featuring a double vanity, updated fixtures, and attractive cherry cabinetry. One of the secondary bedrooms is currently connected to the primary suite through French doors, creating a flexible space ideal for a nursery, office, sitting room, or exercise room (it can also be entered from the hallway). The French doors can easily be removed to convert to a traditional bedroom layout if desired. The upstairs full hall bath with tub/shower combo and the main floor powder room have also been tastefully updated. The finished lower level adds valuable space with a large recreation room, a separate office or hobby room with French doors, generous storage, and an oversized laundry room complete with abundant cabinetry and countertop workspace. One of the home's standout features is the expansive screened porch, complete with a ceiling fan and lighting, creating the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. The porch opens to a deck and a private, newly fenced backyard surrounded by mature landscaping and peaceful views. Notable updates by the current owners include NEW windows and a NEW fence—offering both peace of mind and enhanced enjoyment of the property. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, and major commuting routes, this move-in ready home offers the space, setting, and updates today's buyers are looking for.
