Welcome to this beautifully maintained, light-filled residence, thoughtfully updated for modern living. The open main level features hardwood floors throughout the living and dining areas, large windows, and a cozy natural gas fireplace. The updated kitchen boasts sleek white quartz countertops, a classic large white subway tile backsplash (both new in 2026), and stainless steel appliances, with a convenient pass-through to the oversized family room - anchored by a gas stove - creating an ideal layout for hosting gatherings. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue through all three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with multiple closets and a private en-suite bathroom. The finished lower level offers flexible space with a 4th bedroom (perfect for guests or a home office), a convenient powder room, and direct access to the attached 1-car garage. A major system upgrade includes a new gas hot water heater (2025). Step outside to enjoy exceptional outdoor living: stay dry under the welcoming covered front porch, or retreat to the beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard featuring a paved patio with convenient access from the oversized family room, a detached storage shed, and a Weber gas grill that conveys. Located in the Edison High School pyramid (2026-2027 school year). Move-in ready and filled with charm! Less than 2 miles to the St. James multi-purpose sports complex, plus a short drive to both the Franconia-Springfield Metro station and Van Dorn St station.
