Tucked into 1.31 wooded acres in Centennial Oaks, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home has been improved with intention: more than $352,940 in documented upgrades since 2005. The great room is the showpiece, a 36x20 space with a vaulted, beamed ceiling, skylights, hand-scraped walnut floors, and a floor-to-ceiling brick wood-burning fireplace with a built-in bar and wine storage. A wall of windows and sliding doors brings the wooded setting inside and opens to the screened porch and deck. The kitchen was fully remodeled with granite counters, a subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a brick breakfast bar, and it flows into a dining area framed by a cedar plank accent wall and more walnut flooring. Upstairs, the primary suite has a fully remodeled private bath with a granite-topped vanity and a tiled walk-in shower. A second bedroom and a flexible third bedroom, currently used as a home office, sit off a loft that overlooks the great room below. The updates run deep and practical: a 22 kW Generac whole-home generator, a reroofed home, attic insulation upgraded to R50, central air, remodeled baths, an updated laundry, sliding barn doors, and a leaded-glass front entry. Shared community well and private septic. Outside, a screened porch with a cedar ceiling, a composite deck, and extensive stone landscaping woven through the trees. North Scott Schools. A home that has been cared for and steadily invested in, with the documentation to back it up.
