This fully permitted 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is set on a peaceful lot just minutes from Guilford's vibrant town green, scenic beaches, and historic attractions. Step inside to discover rich natural oak hardwood flooring, a whitewashed brick fireplace with granite hearth, and a custom-designed kitchen with high-end cabinetry, stylish hardware, a spacious island with seating, and built-in wine storage. Elegant finishes like designer lighting, a chic tile backsplash, and a refined color scheme deliver a look that's both stylish today and timeless tomorrow.

The exterior boasts brand-new board-and-batten vinyl siding with cedar shake accents, new gutters drainage system, and a 6-year-old architectural roof delivering low-maintenance living for years to come. The oversized two-car garage offers generous depth and width, providing ample room for parking and additional storage.
