Completely reimagined from top to bottom with over 2,000 sq.ft. of finished living space! This exceptional two-story blends the character of an established neighborhood with the confidence of nearly every major improvement already being completed. Thoughtfully redesigned into an open-concept main level, the stunning kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, range hood, under-counter beverage refrigerator, reverse osmosis drinking system and an expansive picture window overlooking the backyard. New dining room doors open to a new deck and fenced area with astroturf, making it perfect for pets. Enjoy the new stone patio and fire-pit on your nearly half-acre lot which offers plenty of room.
The transformation continues with beautifully remodeled bathrooms, luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh carpet, professional interior and exterior paint, updated lighting, and a finished lower level with a spacious family room and a non-conforming fifth bedroom ideal for guests or a home office.
Beyond the beautiful finishes, enjoy peace of mind knowing the big-ticket improvements are already done, including a newer roof on the home and detached garage, Pella double-hung windows, updated electrical panel, newer HVAC system, new gutters with LeafGuard, and two new garage door openers. This is a rare opportunity to own a home where someone else has already invested in the renovations.
