Spacious 4 bdr, 2 ½ bath home in one of the last filings of popular Shenandoah Estates! Clean and move-in ready, it offers fresh paint, new carpet, new dishwasher & oven, and new heating unit (AC is less than 5 yrs old). In true Acadian style, a large porch spans the home’s entire front. Off the foyer is a formal dining room, and the living room has a wall of windows overlooking a covered rear porch. Both areas have wood floors. At one end of the living room, there’s a wood-burning fireplace and built-in cabinets. The kitchen is bright and airy, with tile counters, a large island with flat cooktop, cabinets galore, and built-in desk. There’s also a breakfast area. The rear master suite feels private; its spacious bath has a vaulted ceiling, large whirlpool tub, separate shower, and 2 closets. One of the additional bedrooms has wood floors, while the others are carpeted. A large workshop behind the carport was added in 2010. The architectural shingle roof is only 3 years old. Great neighborhood for walking, biking, and filled with friendly people! (Optional membership in health club/pool/tennis located in subdivision. )
