Step inside the welcoming entryway, complete with a convenient closet, cozy lighting, and beautifully appointed shiplapped walls that instantly set the tone for warmth and style. It's a space that feels both inviting and thoughtfully designed from the very first moment. Beyond the foyer, the light-filled open living and dining room creates an airy yet comfortable atmosphere, which is ideal for quiet evenings in or gathering with friends and family. The beautifully updated kitchen, with newer cabinetry, shines with quartz countertops, a stylish tiled backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, offering a modern touch that blends seamlessly with the home's charm. A sliding glass door extends your living space outdoors to the deck, perfect for morning coffee, summer grilling, or simply relaxing.

The full basement includes washer, dryer, and wash sink, along with space that serves as a blank canvas. Keep it as generous storage or finish it to create additional living space. The possibilities are truly yours to imagine. Outside, enjoy the yard and detached 1.5 car-garage, offering room to relax, garden, play, or entertain. With close proximity to schools, shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, and more, everything you need is just moments away.
