Charming and move-in ready, this beautifully renovated home offers a fresh, classic design in a highly sought-after "in-town" location. The main level was just painted and showcases rich dark hardwood floors and dramatic vaulted ceilings that flow seamlessly into the kitchen. Flooded with natural light from oversized picture and bay windows, the open-concept living and kitchen area is a showstopper! Shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, under-cabinet and display lighting, glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island-both functional and perfect for entertaining. Upstairs you'll find three comfortable bedrooms with custom closets and a beautifully updated full bath. The lower level expands your living space with a spacious rec room flooded with natural light from daylight windows and another fully renovated bath. Step outside to a surprisingly large private backyard, complete with a full-width patio and plenty of space to design the outdoor retreat of your dreams. This one won't last - schedule your showing today!
