For the first time ever, this cherished home is ready to welcome a new chapter. Custom built in 1970 and lovingly cared for by its original owners for over five decades, it’s a rare opportunity to own a home filled with history, pride, and memories. This 4 bedroom, 3 bath split foyer offers over 2,000 square feet of comfortable living space. The upper level features a light-filled living room, a spacious kitchen with dinette, and three bedrooms—including a primary suite with its own private half bath—plus a full hall bath. Just off the kitchen, the 3-season room may become your favorite spot in the home… the perfect place to start your mornings with sunrise views overlooking the beautifully kept backyard. Step outside to the patio below—ideal for grilling, gathering, and making new memories. The walkout lower level expands your living space with a large family room, a fourth bedroom, a ¾ bath, and a laundry area with additional storage. Homes like this don’t come along often—where one family’s story has been so thoughtfully cared for, and now it’s ready for the next.
