With inviting indoor-outdoor spaces and well-thought out extras throughout, this home is the perfect blend of vibrant community living, peaceful privacy, and easy access to all the perks of borough living. From the well-manicured lawn to the covered front porch with a classic porch swing, the curb appeal of this home can’t help but to draw you in. Step inside to a bright and open main level elevated by character-rich finishes and natural light.To the right, the eat-in kitchen is every chef’s dream and a true showpiece — complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a double oven, pot-filler, and a farmhouse sink. A wine and beverage fridge, pantry, and oversized island with seating make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. It opens directly into a spacious family room with a shiplap accent wall and continues into the multi-use dining area with glass sliding doors to your own backyard oasis. The 1st floor bedroom makes one level living a possibility, whether you are looking for yourself or for an in-law suite.

A hallway coat closet and additional storage round out the main floor. Head to the second level where you will find two more generously sized bedrooms, a bonus room perfect for a home office, playroom, walk-in closet, and barn door access to the laundry area. The backyard is where this home truly sets itself apart. Step through the glass sliders to a private, fully fenced oasis with a pergola-shaded patio, in-ground pool, hot tub, an additional paver patio, and two fully finished sheds with vaulted ceilings, electricity, and AC offer an extra 200 sq ft of flexible living — perfect for a home office, studio, gym, or guest overflow.
