OFFER DEADLINE: Monday, March 15 at noon! Welcome to a home that feels right from the moment you walk in. With multiple living spaces, thoughtful features, and over $240K in updates, you can skip the projects and step straight into enjoying life here. A soaring two-story foyer sets the tone and opens to the inviting living room with new carpet. On the opposite side, you'll find an oversized dining room, perfect for large gatherings and celebrating holidays. The dining room connects to a convenient butler’s pantry/wet bar that can be set up as a coffee station or used for catering. The stunning kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, gorgeous granite counters, a center island with cooktop, space for a table overlooking the deck, and a built-in command center to keep life organized, bringing both function and flow together beautifully. The adjoining family room keeps everyone connected with a soaring cathedral ceiling, fireplace, and sunlight pouring through windows that overlook mature trees. A half bath and renovated laundry center/mud room are conveniently located on this level, along with a bedroom that works equally well as a home office and offers private access to the screened porch. Upstairs, the owner’s suite serves as a true retreat, complete with two walk-in closets featuring built-in organizers and a renovated, spa-inspired bath. The bath includes an upgraded shower with bench seating and a double vanity…because everyone deserves a little breathing room on busy mornings. A second ensuite bedroom filled with natural light is just down the hall. Two additional bedrooms with new carpet share a hall bath with a double vanity. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level is ideal for overnight guests, gaming or movie nights. Finished in 2021, it includes a wet bar with a full-sized refrigerator and dining area, a spacious rec room, an upgraded full bath, and a sixth bedroom with a walk-in closet and direct access to the backyard. Outside, the tiered deck offers the perfect vantage point to enjoy the warmer months with peaceful views of nature. Built-in seating and ample space for grills and smokers make entertaining easy. With a two-car garage, generous driveway parking, fresh paint and carpet throughout, renovated baths, recessed lighting, and many additional improvements, this home is only missing one thing: You. Welcome home.
