The entryway introduces a comfortable foyer with a built-in bookcase, leading to an inviting living and dining space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. With a lower level that rests entirely above grade, the home maximizes natural light and provides highly functional living space from top to bottom. The main living area flows seamlessly into an updated kitchen equipped with colonial white granite countertops, a suite of stainless-steel appliances, a five-burner gas stove, a refrigerator with an ice maker, and a dishwasher. The kitchen sink looks out directly toward the screened in patio and the expansive backyard, keeping the space visually connected to the outdoors. Upstairs, three bedrooms feature ceiling fans and ample closet space, including a corner primary room illuminated by three large windows. The top level also includes a fully updated bathroom complete with a jetted tub and a new vanity. On the lower level, a brightly lit fourth bedroom is finished with brick-toned tile flooring, accompanied by a second full bathroom with a shower stall and a dedicated utility room housing the gas furnace, water heater, and central air systems. Outdoor living is a primary focus of this property. The dining area walks out to a large screened-in patio, offering a comfortable space to relax while overlooking the shaded backyard and included picnic area. A secondary outdoor patio provides direct access to the lower level. The exterior features a well-maintained front lawn and an extra-deep, full-length attached garage that easily accommodates a large vehicle, washer and dryer units, and extensive storage. A long driveway provides parking for two additional cars, supplemented by ample street parking.
