About this home

Exceptional curb appeal welcomes you from the moment you arrive. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this beautifully maintained residence offers both style and peace of mind, beginning with a new roof, sky lights, and fresh exterior paint. Inside, soaring ceilings and a striking wrought-iron staircase railing serve as a beautiful architectural focal point. You are welcomed by newly refinished hardwood floors, new carpet, and fresh interior paint. Elegant details include tray ceilings and a stunning double-sided fireplace, adding warmth and character. The spacious eat-in kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring stainless appliances, granite tile countertops, abundant workspace and storage, a desk area, and a walk-in pantry. Retreat to the generous primary suite, complete with a five-piece bath and large walk-in closet, creating the perfect space to relax and unwind. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a new built-in BBQ, tranquil water feature, sprinkler system, and fully fenced yard. A three-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, storage, and hobbies. Enjoy AC when summer comes around again. Close to shopping, walking distance to schools, and located on a quiet cul-de-sac with no home behind you, this home seamlessly blends comfort, function, and timeless appeal.
