About This Home

As of April 2026

Lovingly maintained by the same owners since 1993, this beautifully updated and spotless home offers a thoughtful blend of comfort, flexibility, and inviting indoor-outdoor living. A second-story addition completed in 2008 expanded the layout, creating generously sized bedrooms and enhanced living space throughout. The main living area features a cozy wood-burning fireplace with gas ignition, recessed lighting throughout the main floor, and ceiling fans in every room for year-round comfort. Freshly cleaned carpets and a brand-new water heater add to the move-in-ready appeal. The kitchen includes a convenient breakfast bar and pantry closet and flows easily into the dining area for everyday living and entertaining. A versatile flex space on the main level provides endless possibilities: ideal for a home office, music room, creative studio, or organized drop zone for coats and bags. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, while the second bedroom offers the added benefit of two closets for exceptional storage. Bedrooms throughout the home are generously sized. The clean basement expands the home's usable space with a built-in workbench perfect for hobbies, projects, or organized storage. A separate bonus room creates a private lower-level retreat (your own zen den or recharge room) ideal for yoga, meditation, reading, creative pursuits, or a quiet workspace away from the home's main living areas. Outdoor living truly shines here with over 60 feet of wrap-around deck space designed for relaxing and entertaining. The 12x10 covered outdoor family room extends the living space outdoors, and the freshly painted 2025 deck offers the perfect spot for grilling, gathering, or even adding a future hot tub. The partially fenced yard adds some privacy, and a 6x12 shed provides additional storage. Adding to the lifestyle appeal, the home sits across from a wide open green space, offering room to enjoy outdoor activities, recreation, and a more open feel right outside your front door. Turnkey, thoughtfully updated, and designed with flexible living spaces inside and out, this home is ready for its next chapter.
