The updated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining with stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and generous counter space. The main level offers three spacious bedrooms, including a private primary suite with its own en-suite bathroom, plus a second updated full bathroom. The fully finished basement significantly expands the home's living space with a legal fourth bedroom featuring a full egress window and expansive finished areas that can easily serve as a family room, recreation room, home theater, fitness room, playroom, home office, or private guest suite, providing incredible flexibility for today's lifestyle.
