A first-floor bedroom, full bath, and conveniently located laundry room provide flexible living arrangements for guests or family members. Upstairs, the expansive owner's suite serves as a private retreat complete with an adjoining office or den, two large walk-in closets, and a beautifully updated spa-inspired bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, and luxurious finishes. Three additional freshly painted bedrooms with new carpeting offer generous closet space, while a large full bath and second-floor laundry room with utility sink and abundant storage provide everyday convenience. The lower level offers exceptional additional living space with dual access from both the main home and attached garage. Features include a dedicated theater room with projector, large screen, and surround sound system, a kitchenette, full bathroom, flex room, designated gym area, and expansive recreation space ideal for entertaining. A standout feature of this property is the private in-law suite with separate access from the attached garage. This thoughtfully designed space includes an open-concept kitchen and living area with abundant natural light, a spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, full bath with walk-in shower, and a large laundry room. Whether used for extended family, guests, a home office, or private living quarters, this space offers incredible flexibility. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive. Enjoy summer days around the large inground swimming pool with expansive lounging area, complete with updated pump and filter. Gather around the built-in firepit on the stamped-concrete patio or enjoy the large concrete recreational area currently used as a basketball court. The fully fenced backyard opens to expansive wooded acreage, providing privacy and potential space for livestock, gardening, or hobby farming. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs will appreciate both the attached two-car garage and detached two-car garage with unfinished second-story loft. The loft presents endless possibilities for a future office, studio, workshop, storage area, or potential income-producing guest space.
