Good bones, great yard, amazing potential ... just a few things that came to mind when folks with a big vision moved in back in 2018. They got to work, measuring, dreaming, & designing a thoughtful two-story addition, imagining a home that could grow along with them. Every detail was considered, every nook curated to maximize space while preserving charm & honoring its roots. The result? A warm, custom home that just feels right. Kick off your shoes in the radiant-heated mudroom & decide: head downstairs to the den/playroom to relax or work out, or upstairs to the remodeled kitchen w/walnut cabinets & granite counters for dinner. A half bath, dining room, living room w/fireplace, & a sunroom/office complete the main level. Upstairs offers a main bath & 3 generous bedrooms, including a dreamy primary suite w/walk-in closet & beautiful private bath. Ready to hit the easy button? The hard work's done, just move in, relax, & get ready to host friends for BBQ's in the fenced-in back yard!
