Set on expansive grounds with large front and back lawns, the property offers both privacy and space to enjoy the outdoors. Inside, rich cherry hardwood floors flow throughout the first and second levels.

The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with dual closets, a jetted tub, separate shower, and a double-bowl quartz vanity. The walk-out lower level expands your living space with a large recreation room featuring a third fireplace, a fifth bedroom, and a full bath, ideal for guests, in-laws, a home office, or fitness area. Extensive updates over the past several years provide peace of mind and modern convenience, including a new roof (2024), air conditioner (2023), water heater (2025), sliding doors in the kitchen and living room, sump pump with backup battery, and a professionally installed EV charger in the garage.
