Designed as a private retreat—this backyard delivers: an in-ground pool, pool shed, mature landscaping, fully fenced yard, and a charming Amish-built playhouse with electricity. Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac, this updated west side home is exactly what buyers are chasing. A two-story entry opens to a light-filled main, where new flooring, updated lighting, a new garage door, and upgraded countertops create a cohesive, elevated feel. Versatile layout—featuring both a living room and family room on the main plus four bedrooms upstairs. Upstairs, the primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, dual vanity, and convenient laundry (one of two in the home). The three-season porch extends your living space seamlessly outdoors. A spacious lower level adds even more versatility—ideal for recreation, guests, or work-from-home needs.
