Set on a quiet Independence street, this home offers generous living space, with both valuable and thoughtful updates. From the inviting gathering areas and finished walkout lower level to the newer deck spanning the entire back of the home, every detail supports comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining.
The main level features an inviting living room with a fireplace, a comfortable dining area, and a kitchen with newer walk-in pantry that brings a fresh, functional feel to the heart of the home. The primary bedroom includes a private bathroom, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Both primary bathroom and kitchen have been updated during the current ownership.
The finished walkout lower level expands the living space with a second fireplace and room for a family room, recreation area, fitness space, or private retreat. Newer windows throughout the home enhance natural light and energy efficiency, while a roof installed approximately two years ago offers added peace of mind.
Outside, a newer deck spans the entire back of the home, creating an impressive setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the fenced backyard. With approximately 1,800 square feet of finished living space, an attached garage, and thoughtful improvements completed throughout the past ten years, this home is ready to welcome its next chapter.
