Fully renovated and thoughtfully improved over the past five years, this home combines extensive upgrades with bright, comfortable living spaces and a large, private yard. Major improvements include a new roof, insulation, electrical wiring, windows, water heater, and appliances.
The second floor was rebuilt from the ground up, with a new stairwell, raised ceilings, new insulation, an office, and a spacious primary bedroom and bath. Hardwood floors run throughout both the first and second floors, and every bedroom features two windows, filling the home with abundant natural light.
A two-car garage with high ceilings connects to the main house through a breezeway that opens into the expanded kitchen, featuring new flooring and a cozy dining nook. Central air conditioning serves the first floor, complemented by energy-efficient mini-split systems in the primary bedroom and breezeway.
Outside, the large yard is framed by mature trees and features a private, shaded patio, an inviting space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. The home is situated in a friendly neighborhood within an easy walk or bike ride of downtown Milton, with convenient access to the library, restaurants, shops, and theater.
