Don't miss this spacious and well maintained 6 bedroom, 2 full bathroom home located in the highly desirable Unit 5 School District, offering plenty of room to spread out and make it your own. This home is packed with updates that provide peace of mind, starting with a roof replacement in 2016 and continuing with thoughtful improvements throughout the years.

In 2021, the attic was insulated, wafer lighting brightened the living room, new electrical panels were installed in both the garage and main home, and a new refrigerator was added. The west basement bedroom was remodeled in 2022, and the garage was insulated, while 2023 brought a new dishwasher and AC unit. In 2024, even more upgrades were added including a new microwave, water heater with thermal expansion tank, whole house water filtration system, gas stove, and whole house humidifier. In 2025, the power meter and main lines were replaced, the basement bathroom was remodeled, and a basketball hoop was added. Most recently in 2026, the east basement bedroom was remodeled and new carpet was installed throughout the basement. You will also love the added conveniences like a utility sink in the laundry room, a large backyard perfect for entertaining or relaxing, and a radon mitigation system already in place, plus all appliances stay. With so much space, so many updates, and incredible value, this is one you will not want to miss, so schedule your showing today before it is gone.
