COMING SOON! UNIQUE CHARACTER: If you love a home with personality and spaces different from every other home you’ve toured, this is it! MAIN LEVEL LIVING: You'll be welcomed by a window-filled enclosed porch, where new carpet and natural light make it easy to picture morning coffee, a home office, or a cozy relaxation spot. From there, the spacious dining room puts you right in the heart of the home, opening directly to the updated kitchen and a sunlit living room. Large windows fill the living room with natural light, creating a bright space perfect for movie or game nights. KITCHEN AND AMENITIES: The kitchen features an island to gather around, a large pantry, ample workspace, and an RO system. Your main-floor primary bedroom has new carpet and its own private door to the deck, perfect for enjoying quiet mornings or unwinding at night. The full bath has a fresh feel with new flooring and a walk-in shower. A main-floor laundry keeps things convenient, with a separate soaking tub you will quickly wonder how you lived without! FLEXIBLE SPACES: Two additional bedrooms offer possibilities for family, guests, hobbies, or a second office, with one offering its own door to the backyard. RECENT UPGRADES & OUTDOORS: Need storage? You’ll have plenty in the basement, along with a new furnace and central air installed in 2026. Outside, your deck and fenced backyard with mature trees are ready for cozy fall evenings with family and friends. Come home today!
