Picture perfect brick ranch completely updated w/ quality in mind. Upon entering the front door you will note the architectural detailing that introduces each space. Beautiful arches, tray ceilings, balanced moldings, and neutral palette throughout. The floorplan flows nicely from Greatroom to dining and kitchen. Updates are endless: Marvin windows & hardwood floors throughout, natural cherry cabinets and onyx backsplash in kitchen with quartz counter tops, 3 full baths & powder room all done. Wonderful outdoor spaces with secret garden courtyard, and large paver patio off the back surrounded by perennial gardens for easy summer living. The half acre is quite secluded with a woodland canopy at the back of the lot. Full basement is ready to finish for more space with fireplace and new large window for light. Property is broker owned.
