Welcome to a beautiful retreat privately nestled among majestic evergreens at the end of a quiet, dead-end street. This sun-drenched home enjoys abundant natural light all day, thanks to vaulted ceilings and skylights that create a warm, inviting ambiance. Designed for comfort and accessibility, there are no stairs at entry and the open floor plan offers spacious living areas perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring high-end stainless steel appliances—including an industrial DCS gas range—thoughtfully curated for culinary enthusiasts. French doors lead you to a level backyard oasis, complete with lush gardens, a patio for outdoor dining, a convenient storage shed, and easy-care landscaping. Flexible living spaces include formal and informal living and dining areas, as well as a third bedroom ideal for a home office, with a peaceful outlook to the front yard. The primary suite is impressively roomy, complemented by a spa-inspired bathroom with heated tile floors and a comfort-height toilet. For added convenience, the attached two-car garage includes a central vac system, a newer (2023) gas furnace, a hot water heater, and a utility sink. It opens directly to the backyard and connects to a detached, heated shop or studio —a dream for crafters, hobbyists, or extra storage—with large windows overlooking the serene rear and side yard. Experience privacy, modern comfort, and versatile living in this exceptional home!
