Step into a home that truly has it all—space, character, and peace of mind—where most of the big updates have already been taken care of for you. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath beauty blends timeless charm with modern upgrades, featuring newer quartz countertops, a new roof (2023), refinished hardwood floors, cozy gas log fireplaces, custom built-ins, a tankless gas water heater, and a whole-house water filtration system. You’ll love the rich wood ceilings in the living room, crown molding in the dining room, and the kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The main level offers incredible flexibility with two bedrooms, a full bath, an office, and both a living room and separate den. Upstairs is currently used as a private primary suite with a full hall bath and an office that could easily serve as a walk-in closet. The finished basement adds even more heated living space, including a room previously used as a 5th bedroom (some ceiling heights under 7 ft), perfect for a playroom, gym, or guest retreat. Add in the huge bonus space above the detached garage, a large Trex deck with vinyl railing, an inviting front porch, and a spacious yard, and you’ll quickly see—this isn’t just a house, it’s a forever home waiting to be enjoyed.

R-15
Residential Single-Family District
The R-15 Residential Single Family District is established as a district in which the principal use of the land is for low density, single-family residential purposes, and to provide and protect low density residential areas for those desiring that type of environment. These districts are intended to ensure that residential development having access to public water supplies and dependent upon septic tanks for sewage disposal will occur at a sufficiently low density to provide a healthful environment. The regulations of this district are intended to discourage any use which, because of its character, would substantially interfere with the development of single-family residences and be detrimental to the quiet residential nature of the areas included within this district.
