A large, custom patio will bring your family and friends a place where stories are told and memories are made! Upgrades abound, including all LVT flooring throughout (2025), a new furnace, new AC, new ejection pump, and new tankless water heater (2025). The Primary Bath was beautifully updated in 2025, along with a new refrigerator, while the interior painting and upstairs fireplace update were completed in 2024. The exterior was refreshed with paint in 2022, a patio extension in 2021, and capped off with a new roof and metal roof in 2018 for long-lasting peace of mind. Every detail has been thoughtfully maintained, from the big-ticket systems to the finishing touches, making this home truly move-in ready. With unmatched views, incredible updates, and spaces designed for both comfort and style, this home is one you won't want to miss!
