What's special

Walkout basementSunroom bathed in lightNew basement carpetAbundant storageLarge light-filled master suiteLifetime roofNew stainless-steel appliances

A gardener’s dream home with a lifetime roof and an insulated 3-car garage. This lovely home is tailor-made for those who nurture a garden and love to entertain. From the moment you step inside, real hardwood floors gleam as you enter a flow of three generous living spaces on the main level. The eat-in kitchen features new stainless-steel appliances and is large enough to add a casual seating area beyond the breakfast table. Off the kitchen, a sunroom bathed in light and framed by bright windows with controllable blinds invites easy hosting and relaxed mornings. Gardeners will thrill to seven 24-foot raised beds—seven beds you can call your urban farm. They’re loaded with opportunities for annual crops and perennials, including red raspberries, thornless blackberries, liberty apples, gooseberries, blueberries, strawberries, green onions, garlic, chives, sage, rhubarb, thyme, and oregano. A buried soaker hose with a four-zone timer keeps the beds thriving with minimal effort—water five minutes, three times a week, for efficient, lush growing. The large, light-filled master suite features an ensuite bath and abundant storage. A convenient upstairs laundry with included washer and dryer adds everyday ease. The walkout basement expands living space with a huge family room and a second large bedroom nearby a full bath. This home is meticulously maintained with a two-year-old water heater, fresh paint, new basement carpet, updated AC, and a high-efficiency furnace with a Reme Halo whole-home air purifier. A stone-coated steel roof delivers lasting protection, and a west-facing driveway adds sun-filled curb appeal.
