Perfectly set on a quiet, tree-shaded cul-de-sac lot, this house feels like home the minute you pull up. From the birch trees to the warm brick and cedar siding, you will fall in love with this custom 4 bedroom and 2.5 bathroom home. Too many features to name, but some highlights include: a 2 story freestanding stone fireplace, upgraded kitchen with skylight, a bright formal dining room, and office with built in maple shelving that matches the main level hardwood flooring. The spacious master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet, and a full ensuite bathroom. Upstairs holds 3 additional bedrooms, full bath and a bonus play/study room. The home also boasts an 18 panel solar system, recent 50 year roof, 4 zone air conditioning and an unfinished basement of over 900 sq. ft. With a 3 car garage and a large backyard with 9’ side access, this home is a must see!
