    Thoughtfully updated and beautifully maintained, this 4BR/3.5BA Brightwood Colonial blends timeless character with modern convenience. Warm hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a welcoming fireplace create an inviting main level, while the renovated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a newly installed backsplash, freshly painted cabinetry, and an adjacent half bath and stacked washer and dryer.

Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with a versatile outdoor space that functions as both a patio and an off-street parking pad, complete with secured access through a custom industrial-grade garage door. Improvements include a sturdy and high perimeter fence, a new HVAC condenser (2023), fresh interior paint, and numerous thoughtful updates that reflect pride of ownership throughout.
