Designed with an inviting open floor plan, this home offers abundant living space perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A formal living room and dining room with soaring cathedral ceilings flow seamlessly into the spacious family room, where a cozy brick wood-burning fireplace and beautiful backyard views create the perfect gathering space. Step directly onto the deck from the main living area-ideal for summer barbecues and relaxing evenings outdoors. The open kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring plentiful cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, included appliances, and a layout that allows the at-home chef to prepare meals while mingling with guests. The home offers three generously sized bedrooms, including a private primary suite tucked at the back of the home with its own full bath and large closet. Two additional bedrooms are conveniently located near the main hall bath, complete with tile flooring, a tub and shower combination, and a spacious linen closet for ample storage.

Situated on nearly a half-acre lot, the outdoor space is just as impressive. Enjoy beautiful curb appeal enhanced by all-new landscaping completed last year, a welcoming covered front porch for relaxing summer evenings, and a large open yard ideal for games, pets, and play. An attached two-car garage offers generous parking and additional exterior storage. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a new hot water heater and dishwasher, plus a newer roof, siding, central air, and garage door opener-all within the past two years.
