Nearly 3,000 square feet of beautifully updated living space on a private .37-acre lot in Bauer Woods Estates. This single-level home offers 3 bedrooms, an office/den, generous living spaces, and an easy connection to the outdoors. A $250,000 remodel in 2020 brought thoughtful updates while preserving the warmth and character of the home. High ceilings, wide hallways, wood windows, plantation shutters, and extensive hardwood floors give the home a timeless feel. The kitchen is both stunning and highly functional, with matte quartz counters, top-of-the-line Thermador stainless steel appliances, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, pull-out shelves, and smart blind-corner storage to take full advantage of every inch of space.The dining room opens to the living room, where a wood-burning fireplace with a custom walnut mantel is mounted on floor-to-ceiling honed granite. A custom beverage bar adds a nice touch for entertaining or relaxing at the end of the day.The spacious primary suite includes adjoining flex space that could work well as a gym, nursery, or second office. There is also direct access to the patio and hot tub. The primary bath features dual sinks, an open travertine shower, soaking tub, and two walk-in closets.Therma-Tru glass doors lead to a private deck and two patios, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors from multiple areas of the home. The fully fenced, terraced backyard is beautifully landscaped and offers plenty of privacy, with quiet spaces for relaxing and larger areas for entertaining. With its thoughtful updates, quality finishes, and peaceful private setting, this is a home that feels comfortable and inviting while still offering a refined level of finish.
