About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to this beautifully updated 3–4 bedroom, 2 full bath home tucked away on a quiet street, offering space, function, and charm. Step inside to find a welcoming entryway complete with a custom-built bench and coat rack, setting the tone for the thoughtful details throughout.

The main floor boasts a spacious kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, epoxy countertops, and abundant cabinet storage. Just beyond, you'll find a generous dining area and living room perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A versatile fourth bedroom is currently staged as a second living room, but with the simple addition of a door, it easily transforms to suit your needs.

Upstairs, you'll find three more large bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a private ensuite bath and a walk-in laundry/closet room for ultimate convenience. A second full bathroom is just down the hall, making it easily accessible for guests or family.

Outside, the partially fenced backyard continues beyond the oversized garage—perfect for pets, play, or gardening. The detached garage is a rare find, offering space for multiple vehicles plus a full second level of storage.

Recent upgrades include new flooring, paint, electrical, and so much more. This home checks all the boxes—style, storage, and functionality—all in a peaceful location. Don’t miss this one!
