About This Home

As of October 2024

Prepare to fall in love with this beautifully maintained home, nestled on a spacious .36-acre lot that’s so green, even your lawnmower will thank you! Imagine coming home to the shade of mature trees, perfectly landscaped grounds. Find 4 bedrooms and 2 updated bathrooms. The large, updated kitchen features granite countertops, a huge center island (perfect for your gourmet masterpieces or just as a spot to drop your keys), and wood floors. The updated kitchen has a separate dining area and opens into the family room, creating an open area that’s perfect for entertaining. From the dining area step out onto your no-maintenance deck – because who has time for sanding and staining when there’s relaxing to be done? Now, let’s talk about that "UNICORN" in the real estate world: the 5-car HEATED and has a AC window unit in the garage. Yes, you read that right. Five. Cars. Whether you’re a car enthusiast, hobbyist, or just someone who appreciates having more storage than they know what to do with, this garage is a dream come true. Plus, with a beautiful concrete driveway, your home’s first impression is as polished as it gets. To top it all off, this home comes with a brand-new roof, gutters, and leaf guard system, all installed in 2024.
