Soaring ceilings welcome you the moment you step inside this lovely four-level, three-bedroom, three full bath home, set in a quiet, country-like setting that feels peaceful without feeling remote. Natural light pours into the entry through a skylight above the cathedral ceiling, instantly giving the space an open, airy vibe. Throughout the main level, luxury vinyl flooring and fresh, neutral paint create a clean, modern look that’s easy to love. Subtle details like chair rail molding add just the right amount of character. The eat-in kitchen is bright and inviting, featuring warm maple-toned cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and under-cabinet lighting. A skylight, sliding glass door to the walk-down deck, and a charming box-style garden window fill the space with sunshine, making it a wonderful place to cook and gather. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms with fresh carpet, fresh paint, and window treatments already in place. The primary bedroom overlooks the peaceful rear yard and includes a private full bath with an upgraded cherry-tone vanity and updated countertops. The lower level offers a spacious family room with its own full bath, making it an ideal spot for movie nights, guests, or a home office setup. Sliding doors open directly to the level, sun-filled backyard, where evergreen trees provide a natural, calming backdrop. Outside, the flat yard offers room to relax or play, with a convenient storage shed for tools, lawn equipment, or outdoor gear, and there’s plenty of off-street parking with just a single step into the home — practical and convenient. Altogether, this home offers space, light, and a comfortable flow, wrapped in a setting that feels calm, welcoming, and easy to settle into.
