This beautifully updated 4 bedroom 3 full-bath ranch sits on over an acre of land on a corner lot within the highly sought-after Germantown Hills Elementary\Middle School and the Metamora High School districts. The heart of the home features a refreshed kitchen boasting new quartz countertops, perfectly complemented by sleek luxury vinyl (LVP) flooring, newly installed modern trim and baseboards, and stylish new light fixtures that flow seamlessly throughout the main living areas. The absolute showstopper of this property is the massive, sun-drenched 4 seasons sunroom with incredible floor-to-ceiling windows and a breathtaking glass ceiling that floods the space with natural light. Downstairs, a fully finished basement offers new carpeting perfect for a rec room, home theater, offering many storage areas and a separate full bathroom and bedroom. The expansive lot provides endless outdoor possibilities, providing a perfect blend of modern interior updates and a country-like green views. Newly installed garage door opener (with camera/wifi) and a Electric Vehicle charger (Tesla Gen 3 48 Amp) in the garage.
