The traditional yet functional floor plan offers an ideal blend of formal and casual living spaces. The formal living room provides flexibility as a sitting room, piano room, reading room, or additional entertaining area, while the formal dining room creates an elegant setting for gatherings and holidays. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home and has been thoughtfully updated with stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, upgraded cabinetry and shelving details, recessed lighting, pantry storage, tile backsplash, and a center island that adds both functionality and gathering space. The adjoining breakfast area flows seamlessly into the family room, creating an ideal setup for everyday living and entertaining alike. The family room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere centered around a beautiful wood-burning fireplace with glass doors, mantel, and custom trim surround. Large windows overlook the rear yard and bring the outdoor setting into the living experience. Just beyond, one of the home’s standout features is the covered screened-in deck overlooking the expansive rear yard and mature tree line beyond. With its wood decking, vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, and elevated views of the backyard, the space feels both relaxing and functional. Whether enjoying morning coffee, outdoor dining, or quiet evenings outside, this area truly serves as an extension of the home while still offering protection from the elements. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a relaxing retreat complete with decorative molding details, walk-in closet, and a private bath featuring a soaking tub, walk-in stall shower, dual vanity, and updated finishes. The additional bedrooms are generously sized and filled with natural light, while the renovated hall bathroom adds a fresh and modern feel to the upper level. The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility with multiple functional spaces including a media/lounge area, playroom space, and a dedicated office/music studio ideal for remote work, hobbies, gaming, fitness, or creative use. Outside, the backyard continues to impress with its large, level lawn, mature trees, and open green space that create a peaceful and private setting rarely found in suburban neighborhoods. Major improvements include energy-efficient double-hung insulated windows, high-efficiency Lennox natural gas HVAC, central air conditioning, energy-efficient appliances, and a 4-year-old roof with transferable warranty.
