Property Description
From the moment you pull into the concrete driveway, you'll feel a quiet sense of arrival. This home makes a welcoming first impression with its attractive curb appeal & a covered front porch that invites you to pause, set down your bags, and just breathe for a moment. This home has classic charm, generous living spaces, & thoughtful updates that come together beautifully. Step inside & you're immediately greeted by a comfortable living room- open & inviting. Imagine welcoming guests here, settling in with a good book, or simply relaxing at the end of the day. Elegant FRENCH DOORS lead you straight into the dining room, which flows effortlessly into the large EAT-IN kitchen, offering plenty of room to prepare meals, gather around the table, and enjoy everyday moments together. The kitchen features ABUNDANT CABINETRY, hardwood flooring, and a NEWER BUILT-IN COOKTOP & OVEN. Upstairs, you'll find three GENEROUSLY SIZED bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing plenty of space for family, guests, a home office, or whatever fits your lifestyle. CEILING FANS throughout most of the home add an extra touch of comfort and airflow. The FINISHED WALK-OUT lower level gives you even more room to spread out. With DAYLIGHT WINDOWS bringing in abundant natural sunlight, this level feels bright and welcoming rather than like a typical basement. Use the spacious recreation/family room as a movie room, game room, play space, home gym, or simply a second gathering area. A laundry room and convenient 3/4 bathroom complete this level. And then there's the BACKYARD-a space you'll actually want to use. Step outside to a LARGE PATIO surrounded by BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPING & a FULLY FENCED yard. Whether you're hosting summer gatherings, enjoying your morning coffee, grilling with friends, or simply relaxing outdoors, this LOW-MAINTENANCE outdoor space makes entertaining & everyday enjoyment easy. MAJOR UPDATES provide added peace of mind, including the HVAC system replaced in 2015, roof replaced in 2020. The 2-CAR attached garage had the door replaced in 2020 & opener installed in 2024. This is the kind of home where you can picture yourself settling in-gathering around the dining table, relaxing in the living room, spreading out in the lower-level family room, and enjoying summer evenings on the patio. Come see the space, layout, natural light, and character for yourself. Your next chapter could start right here.
