Charming and fully renovated, this split-foyer residence offers 1,324 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a 1-car garage, nestled in peaceful Hilltop. Lush landscaping, a newly paved driveway (2025), and a freshly painted and stained exterior enhance the home’s curb appeal, while a welcoming front staircase leads into a dramatic two-story foyer. Upstairs, gleaming hardwood floors flow through the spacious living and dining areas. The sunlit living room features oversized windows and a striking floor-to-ceiling gray brick wood-burning fireplace. The adjacent dining room is enhanced by an elegant chandelier and sliding glass doors that open to the deck, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The beautifully updated eat-in kitchen sits completely open to the dining room and is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry and counter space, and is complete with a convenient breakfast bar. Down the hall, you’ll find two carpeted, generously sized bedrooms, including the primary, along with a full bath. The fully finished walkout lower level offers flexible living space with a large recreation room featuring a built-in wooden bookcase, mirrored walls that expand the feel of the space, a full bathroom, and a closet. An unfinished storage area also houses the dedicated laundry area. Enjoy serene views from the rear deck overlooking mature trees, or relax in the landscaped side yard complete with a charming bench swing. Additional updates include the HVAC system in 2025 and the water heater in 2020.
