Beautifully maintained three-bedroom home offering unusually spacious rooms, an expanded floor plan, and an exceptional finished basement. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate how clean and well cared for this home has been. It has never been smoked in and has never had pets. The original owner thoughtfully expanded the home's floor plan by pushing the rear of the home out an additional five feet, creating an exceptionally large and open living space that is difficult to find in today's homes. The main level features a formal living room, along with a spectacularly wide-open kitchen, dining area, and family room designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious family room features a fireplace, while the updated kitchen offers granite countertops, high-end cabinetry, and new appliances. All three bedrooms are located on the second floor, with room sizes that are substantially larger than typical bedrooms. The second floor includes a full bathroom as well as a spacious primary bathroom featuring both a soaking tub and separate shower. The finished basement adds an impressive amount of additional living and entertaining space. It features a very large family/recreation room, a separate office, and an additional recreation area currently used by the owner as a "speakeasy." This unique space has been decorated with an old-time 1920s speakeasy-inspired atmosphere, creating a one-of-a-kind area for entertaining or relaxing. Step outside to enjoy the stamped-brick concrete patio and pergola, providing a wonderful outdoor setting for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing. Although the property is situated on a quarter-acre lot, the backyard offers a private setting providing a peaceful backdrop. Close to shopping and expressway for easy commute.
