Nestled on a beautiful, tree-lined street, this delightful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a generous quarter-acre lot and is filled with warmth, character, and comfort. Set in a quiet, well-established neighborhood and embraced by mature landscaping, this one-owner gem has been meticulously cared for over the past 40+ years, making it a rare and special find. The inviting kitchen showcases rich oak cabinetry, tile countertops, black appliances, a removable island, and a large pantry. Thoughtful built-ins, an eat-in nook with space for a full dining table, and an abundance of natural light make this space both functional and warm. In the living area, engineered bamboo hardwood flooring pairs beautifully with a custom-built slate gas fireplace—the true centerpiece of the room. Accented by skylights, crown molding, recessed lighting, and fresh paint throughout, the home exudes elegance and timeless charm. You’ll find two generously sized bedrooms and a spacious hall bathroom with a tub-shower combo. The primary suite is a relaxing retreat, featuring a large walk-in closet and a thoughtfully designed ensuite bathroom with a steam shower and dedicated vanity area.
Adding peace of mind and long-term value, the home also boasts a brand new roof ( 2025 ), complementing its already meticulous upkeep. The home’s curb appeal shines with carefully maintained landscaping, while the expansive backyard offers endless possibilities—a blank canvas ready for your vision. Whether you dream of adding a pool, ADU, outdoor kitchen, or creating a peaceful garden retreat, the space is yours to shape. Lovingly cared for from top to bottom, this home is ready for its next chapter. Bring your dreams and create lasting memories in a place you’ll be proud to call home.
