About This Property
Welcome to this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath home with a 2-car garage, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac. Pride of ownership shines throughout—this home has been exceptionally well cared for, with a two-year-old roof, six-year-old HVAC system, one year old water heater and thoughtful updates and maintenance throughout. The hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, complemented by the custom Hunter Douglas solid wood blinds which add warmth and quality to this home. There is a nice refreshed half bath off the kitchen. Move to the second floor and you will find four comfortable bedrooms, offering plenty of space for family, guests or a home office. A conveniently located second floor laundry room makes everyday living a little easier, while the hall full bath was beautifully updated within the last year. An added bonus about this home is there is room to grow! The approximate 1000 sq ft unfinished basement offers incredible potential to create the space that fits your lifestyle. Already stubbed for a bathroom, there's plenty of room for a rec room, home gym, bedroom or guest space... all while adding valuable finished square footage to the home. One of the largest homes in the neighborhood, it offers plenty of space to spread out while still providing the comfortable, welcoming feel you’re looking for. But the true showstopper is the phenomenal backyard. This oversized, fully fenced outdoor space feels like your own private park, with mature landscaping, lush surroundings, and a peaceful, serene setting that is hard to find. The two and a half year old sprinkler system makes maintaining this beautiful yard a breeze. If you already love this neighborhood but need more room, this could be the perfect opportunity to move up without leaving the area you love. With its cul-de-sac location, impressive size, incredible backyard, and a long history of careful maintenance, this is a home that truly stands out.
