Tucked away on nearly 2 acres of wooded serenity, this beautifully updated home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and modern convenience. Step inside to find fresh paint throughout, newer flooring and carpet, and an inviting open layout that feels like new from top to bottom. Every major update has already been done for you -- siding, windows, water softener, bladder tank, mechanicals, and all appliances are less than 7 years old, ensuring worry-free living for years to come. The fully finished basement provides incredible extra space and features a pellet burner that keeps things cozy all winter long while saving on utilities. Outside, enjoy your own peaceful retreat surrounded by trees, with a newly paved driveway (2024) leading to an impressive 3-car detached garage -- perfect for vehicles, hobbies, or extra storage. If you're looking for a move-in-ready home where everything feels brand new, with the space and seclusion you've been dreaming of, this could be the one!
