About this home

This is it! The perfect home you’ve been waiting for. Driving up you’ll immediately notice the perfectly manicured lawn, updated stone and siding, and beautiful landscaping on this 3-bedroom ranch. As you step through the front door, you’re greeted in a large living room with custom entertainment wall, views to the dining area and windows offering views to the front and back yards. Stepping in to the kitchen you’ll find new quartz counters, stainless steel appliances and a window over the sink offering even more sunlight into the space. The main floor is rounded out with an owner’s suite, 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, updated lighting, and lots of custom touches. The lower level offers even more space for you to enjoy with its large family room, non-conforming bedroom, full bathroom, storage room with built-in shelving, dedicated laundry and new HVAC. Headed out the backdoor, you’ll love entertaining on the 12X20 composite deck, with cedar pergola and sunshades overlooking the private yard. You also won’t want to miss the extra deep garage with room for a boat! Call us today to schedule your tour before this one is gone!
