About This Home
Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac along Barnards Creek on a .69 acre lot, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial has many updates including kitchen & baths. The moment you pull up, a majestic oak tree - a living work of art - welcomes you home. Enter the foyer and admire the LVP floors, updated paint colors and lighting. A formal dining room welcomes guests with an air of elegance and sophistication, inviting you to sit down, share a meal, & create cherished memories. The kitchen is anchored by a spacious island built for gathering, and includes all appliances, & tile backsplash. Cozy up in the family room beside a gas log fireplace, or retreat to the living room for quiet focus. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a spacious layout with large windows that bathe the room in natural light. The en-suite bathroom boasts a luxurious soaking tub, quartz countertop, 12x24 ceramic tile and a walk in closet. Down the hall are two additional bedrooms, full guest bath, plus a 4th bedroom/bonus room, offering flexibility for family or guests.

A matching pair of She-Shed and He-Shed retreats - each with its own mini-split system, comfortable and usable year-round - can be a studio, workshop, or hobby space. All outbuildings have metal roofs. Beyond the fenced backyard is Barnard's Creek, adding a tranquil ambiance to the serene outdoor oasis.
