    What's special

    This home was designed for real life and all of the right updates have been completed for you to move in and start living! As you enter the home, step inside to freshly refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, and a bright, welcoming layout! The spacious kitchen updated in 2021, including granite countertops, recessed lighting, hardwood floors, microwave, refrigerator, and kitchen sink, plus a new gas range in 2025 and dishwasher installed in 2026! Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply reheating takeout after a long day, this kitchen is ready for it all! The vaulted living and dining area is filled with natural light that highlights the beautiful floors, creating an airy, cheerful feel throughout the main level. Just off the living room, the deck becomes your personal retreat, ideal for morning sunshine, or unwinding under the evening sky after a busy day. Downstairs, the fully finished walk-out lower level offers even more room to spread out and enjoy, featuring a large family room, newer basement carpet (2022), and a convenient 3/4 bathroom with a walk-in shower. Thanks to the walk-out design, the lower level feels bright and open with full windows and natural light, while the patio adds another great outdoor space to enjoy! Upstairs, the vaulted primary bedroom feels spacious and relaxing, while two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom provide flexibility for guests, hobbies, or the perfect work-from-home setup. Recent bathroom updates, including a new vanity and toilet, add a fresh modern touch, and the brand-new upstairs carpet brings warmth and comfort throughout the upper level. Ready for the peace-of-mind updates? They are BIG ones! A brand-new TRANE high-efficiency AC system was installed in 2026, and the furnace will be installed ASAP, offering an estimated $15,000 value and one less thing to worry about for years to come! Fresh, functional, and filled with updates, this well-maintained townhome is truly move-in ready and waiting for its next chapter!
