Buyers don't just fall in love with a home...they fall in love with the feeling that everything has already been done right. This is one of those rare homes! Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac and set on nearly a quarter acre, this beautifully maintained brick-front residence immediately stands out, not just for its timeless curb appeal, but for the incredible care it has received from its original owners. Here, you're not just buying a home, you're stepping into true peace of mind, with major systems already updated, including a newer HVAC system and water heater (2022), a roof replaced in 2013 with a transferable warranty, and upgraded double-pane windows throughout. It's the kind of investment you can feel the moment you arrive. From the moment you step inside, natural light pours into the elegant living room, where crown molding adds a refined touch. The space flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, complete with natural hardwoods, chair rail, crown molding, a stunning bay window, and a built-in China cabinet, creating the perfect backdrop for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. The heart of the home is the fully remodeled kitchen, thoughtfully designed with crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stylish LVP flooring, and top-of-the-line LG and Samsung appliances. Just beyond, a spacious breakfast nook invites casual mornings and effortless everyday living. Slide open the door and step into your own private retreat: a screened-in porch with dual ceiling fans & skylights, where you can enjoy al fresco dining without the worry of bugs. Overlooking a slate patio and a lush backyard adjacent to preserved forest, this outdoor space feels serene and endlessly inviting. Inside, the kitchen and breakfast area open to a warm and welcoming family room anchored by a brick gas fireplace with a classic wood mantel. A sliding glass door offers direct access to the patio, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. Function meets convenience with a well-placed mudroom and laundry area featuring its own side entrance, along with a nearby hall bath, garage access, and entry to the unfinished basement. The basement is already fully waterproofed and ready for your vision, whether that's a home gym, theater, or additional living space. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a sitting area and four closets (including a walk-in). The en-suite bath offers a soaking tub, walk-in shower with glass enclosure, and a linen closet for added storage. Three additional bedrooms are generously sized, and the updated hall bath showcases a walk-in shower with sliding glass doors and sleek gray and white modern tile. This home is more than move-in ready; it's worry-free living where the big-ticket items have already been thoughtfully upgraded. A home like this doesn't just check boxes, it delivers confidence, comfort, and lasting value from day one.
