Truly outstanding space feels cheerful year-round with huge windows, warm white paint, and light laminate floors. The dining room is perfect for everyday living, special holidays, and to enjoy the charming balcony and sunsets. The kitchen is clean & crisp with so much character; freshly painted cabinets, bar seating at counter, travertine-style tile flooring, and warm-tone wood floating shelves. Stainless fridge & dishwasher are only 4 years old. The heart of the home is in this cozy great room where the kitchen, great room & eating nook adjoin! Turn on the fireplace and snuggle up in this sweet space, perfect to enjoy downtime, games & books. Upstairs are FOUR spacious bedrooms! The primary bedroom suite is impressive; 13' x 20' is a WOW, with vaulted ceilings, en suite bath with double sinks, and walk-in closet. Great quality, like-new light laminate flooring throughout the home. The backyard is fenced with gravel "patio" which makes a great entertaining space for summer BBQ's. Backyard is low maintenance, with access down a tidy path on the left side of the home. Enjoy this easy care yard as it is, or reimagine this outdoor space with your own dreams for a backyard. Just minutes to neighborhood parks, grocery, coffee & schools. Little trail at the end of the street for easy access to walks in the surrounding neighborhood. HUGE storage space under the home. An inviting home with comforting hallmarks of traditional design, layered with the lessons of today's bright modern style. [Home Energy Score = 8.
