About this home

Classic charm blends with an open concept floor plan and tasteful renovations to create a wonderful place to call home. Situated on a desirable 0.44 acre cul de sac lot with close proximity to Fiske Elementary. Step into a generously sized great room which houses the living area with fireplace, dining area and the remodeled kitchen featuring white cabinetry, massive island, farmers sink and wall of windows overlooking the expansive backyard. There is also a large office and a sun-filled 3-season porch. Upstairs encounter a luxurious primary suite with a spa like bath. Technically a 4-bedroom home, the 4th bedroom has been converted to an oversized primary closet & dressing room, however this can be switched back if desired.
