The kitchen features abundant cabinetry and counter space, a gas stove and center island with oversized breakfast bar. There is also a breakfast area nook with built-in bench overlooking the backyard. The large family room offers flexibility as well, with space enough for family TV viewing plus a separate conversation space or kids play area. Off the family room is a wonderful screened porch with an exterior deck for grilling. You will live out here! A main floor bedroom and colorful full bath complete this level .Upstairs you will find 2 large bedrooms, a flex room playroom/nursery or office, and the bright hall bath. There is attic access for storage on this level. The spacious owner's suite occupies the rear of this floor and includes a very large fully outfitted walk-in closet, another closet and built-in shelves, and a large ensuite bath. There is a jetted tub and separate stall shower for delux pampering!The lower level includes a finished playroom and a half bath. The utility area is large and unfinished. A detached garage and very long driveway with parking pad turn-around space make for extreme convenience. The flat backyard is partially fenced.
