About This Home

As of May 2026

MOTIVATED SELLER! Tucked among the trees on a beautiful, partially wooded homesite, this inviting 3-bedroom, 3-bath home blends comfort, charm, and thoughtful updates in one of the area’s most popular floor plans. From the moment you step onto the welcoming front porch, you’ll feel the warmth this home offers. Inside, the great room captivates with rich wood floors and a stunning wood-clad ceiling, creating a cozy yet refined space to gather and unwind. Freshly painted interiors and brand-new appliances bring a crisp, modern feel while preserving the home’s character. The bright, open kitchen and dining area are filled with natural light and flow effortlessly to the screened porch or deck — perfect for morning coffee, evening dinners, or simply enjoying the peaceful wooded views. A spacious main-floor primary bedroom offers comfort and convenience, creating a private retreat at the end of the day. The walk-out lower level expands your living space with a generous family room that opens to a lovely paver patio, ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. Two additional bedrooms and baths provide plenty of room for guests and family. Practical updates offer peace of mind and ease of living, including a new bridge-way connecting the driveway to the home to a blacktop driveway, and (from the previous owner two years ago) recently treated roof with Roof Maxx, professionally cleaned exterior, freshly stained front porch and deck, and installed gutter guards. Offered with many furnishings included (to be transferred on a separate bill of sale), this home is truly move-in ready — simply bring your personal touches and begin your next chapter surrounded by nature and comfort. (Seller to provide a list of exclusions.)
