The heart of the home is the stunningly renovated kitchen, where white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant storage and a center island open seamlessly to a vaulted dining area filled with natural light. Walls of windows frame peaceful backyard views, creating a bright and inviting gathering space. Hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, which also offers a welcoming fireplaced living room/home office, a comfortable family room and a flexible dining room with direct access to the screened porch. A custom mudroom with built-in storage, half bath and attached two-car garage complete the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a beautifully renovated bath with double vanity, oversized tiled shower, whirlpool tub and an impressive custom walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms share a full bath with double vanity, and the second-floor laundry makes daily routines remarkably convenient. The finished lower level offers outstanding flexibility with generous space for a playroom, media room, home gym, game room or multiple work-from-home areas while still providing ample storage. The screened porch extends the living space outdoors and overlooks the private backyard, making it the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer dinners or relaxing at the end of the day. Surrounded by mature trees and attractive landscaping, this home combines privacy, thoughtful updates and an unbeatable location you'll appreciate for years to come!
