The kitchen features a large central island, while the living room offers beautiful hardwood flooring and a cozy wood-burning fireplace.

The lower-level family room features brand-new carpet installed in 2026, providing versatile space for relaxing, entertaining, hobbies, or a home office. A convenient half-bath and partially finished basement offer additional functionality and storage.
Virtually staged photos have been included to illustrate just how warm, gorgeous, and inviting these spaces can feel. Actual room finishes and features are shown in the property's regular photographs.
Three bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The primary bedroom features sliding glass doors opening onto an exterior balcony overlooking the wooded backyard. The other two bedrooms, and a full bathroom remodeled in 2012 complete the upper level.
Storage is a standout feature throughout the home, with an entryway closet, double bedroom closets, a large cedar-lined closet, a spacious cedar-lined storage cupboard, two linen closets, and a family room closet. An easily accessible attic with flooring provides even more convenient storage space.
