Beautiful 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home situated on just over 3/4 of an acre, offering the perfect mix of space, style, and comfort. Inside, you'll find two distinct living areas—one spacious and cozy, perfect for relaxing nights in, and the other with a modern, vibrant vibe ideal for entertaining or hanging out. A fireplace with sleek black accents and a custom mantle ties in beautifully with the kitchen cabinetry, while sliding glass doors open to a large deck overlooking peaceful woods. The kitchen features newer appliances that stay with the home, and all four bedrooms are conveniently located upstairs along with a laundry area. Additional features include a two-car attached garage and a separate storage building with electricity, great for extra storage or a workshop. This is a must-see home in a quiet, private setting—and it won’t last long!
