Has a no-maintenance vinyl privacy fence, and a spacious shed — both added in 2021. Step out from the kitchen onto the large deck (rebuilt 2021) overlooking a landscaped yard framed by mature trees. Inside, the home offers many updates throughout.

New French doors with built-in blinds invite natural light while opening to the deck.

The flexible floor plan includes a dining area or home office adjacent to the family room. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts tray ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath with a jetted soaking tub, double vanities, and a ceramic-tiled shower (2022). Three additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the upper level. The finished walkout basement has upgraded Duraceramic tile floors while adding even more space, featuring a bright rec room, a full bath, and a dedicated storage room. All three levels have various upgrades in trimwork, including crown molding, picture molding and chair rail molding. Dual-zone heat pumps with an oil furnace backup keep the home comfortable year-round. Washer and dryer (new 2024) convey.
