Welcome to this warm and inviting 3 bed/2 bath ranch home with attached 2.5 car garage, nestled on a beautifully landscaped lot in the desirable Indian Hill Estates and Harper Elementary School district. Step through the foyer into the bright and spacious living room, where a bay window, marble-surround wood-burning fireplace, and elegant millwork create a cozy ambiance. The separate dining room, adorned with stunning French doors that lead to the family room, continues the home's refined aesthetic. The family room is bathed in natural light from a full wall of windows and sliding doors that open to the patio and expansive backyard. The custom chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, boasting extra-deep cabinets, granite countertops, a Wolf range, and two pantries - one conveniently located in the mudroom, offering the potential for upstairs laundry. The primary suite features multiple closets and an updated en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms share a renovated hall bathroom.
