About This Home

As of April 2025

This is the home you’ve been waiting for! Nestled gracefully at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this very well maintained, stunning home sits on over a quarter-acre, offering a park-like setting in the rear yard—truly a private, serene wooded and spacious outdoor retreat. Step inside and you'll be immediately welcomed by an abundance of natural light that fills every corner of the home. The kitchen with all brand new stainless appliances opens up to a nice family room, featuring a wood pellet stove, perfect for those chilly winter nights ahead. Outside, the expansive deck and enclosed southern facing screened patio further extend the very private living space, transforming this home into an entertainer’s paradise. On the second floor, you’ll find generously sized bedrooms, including a huge primary suite with an ensuite bath with a large garden soaking tub, that provides comfort and privacy. On the lower level you’ll find a large multi-user home office! Also, an unfinished area with rough-in for a 4th bathroom. An enclosed storage room is also located underneath the patio enclosure, making this home a storage champion! This home offers a perfect blend of tranquility, privacy and functionality. Come see it today—it just might be your next home! Quick access to I-95! Life Time Roof Warranty!
