Absolutely IMMACULATE two-story that shows better than new construction! This home has been extensively renovated from top to bottom recently with exceptional finishes and quality craftsmanship throughout. The stunning gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, exotic granite countertops, huge center island and brand-new stainless steel appliances, all highlighted by designer lighting. Fresh paint and beautiful flooring—including hardwood, tile, and high-end laminate—flow seamlessly throughout the home. Bathrooms are fully updated with quartz shower surrounds and countertops, modern tile flooring, and custom cabinetry for a true spa-like feel. Major improvements include a newer furnace, central A/C, roof, gutters, plumbing, electrical, custom windows and doors, spray foam insulation, and a new garage door. The fully finished basement adds impressive additional living space with potential to be a non conforming bedroom along with a beautifully updated full bathroom. Step outside to a backyard built for entertaining—featuring an incredible paver patio and outdoor kitchen area with a built-in firepit, perfect for gatherings year-round. The fenced yard includes a cement driveway ideal for activities, plus extra parking in addition to the oversized two-car garage. A true turnkey showpiece inside and out— at this price point this is a definite must-see!
