This stunning home offers approximately 2,100 square feet of beautifully finished living space including the fully finished basement.

The kitchen has been completely remodeled with brand new cabinetry, quartz countertops, a massive quartz center island, decorative backsplash, stylish upgraded lighting, recessed lights, stainless steel gas stove, microwave and dishwasher, and plenty of space for entertaining. The black plumbing and cabinet fixtures accents this lovely kitchen.

The second level offers two oversized bedrooms with plush carpeting and an incredible spa-inspired full bath featuring a fully tiled stall shower with luxury spa fixtures, a built i seat, a separate makeup vanity with a lighted mirror, and a smart toilet. The fully finished basement expands the living space with a large recreation room, workout room, den, utility room, and a beautifully renovated full bath with a tiled stall shower, laminate wood floors and designer fixtures.
