Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the bright, sun filled living room, where gleaming original hardwood floors add warmth and timeless character. Just beyond is the beautifully updated eat in kitchen featuring custom cabinetry with plenty of storage for everything from your favorite cookware to those larger appliances like the air fryer, stand mixer, and espresso machine. The adjoining dining area makes everyday meals and entertaining effortless. A true bonus on the main level is the mudroom, a rare feature in homes of this size.

The finished lower level offers exceptional flexibility. Whether you need a recreation room, home office, guest suite, home gym, or all of the above, this space adapts to your lifestyle. A second full bathroom makes it ideal for overnight guests, while the updated flooring, generous storage room, and separate laundry area add everyday convenience. Best of all, the lower level offers its own private walkout entrance, creating the perfect setup for guests or added privacy. Step outside and you'll discover what truly makes this property special. The expansive backyard is an entertainer's dream, offering plenty of room for outdoor dining, lawn games, gardening, or simply relaxing under the trees. The owners' green thumbs are evident with the raised garden beds already in place, perfect for growing your own herbs, vegetables, flowers, or fresh summer tomatoes. An additional storage shed provides plenty of room for bikes, gardening tools, and outdoor equipment. The location is just as impressive. Just a block away, Troy Park offers a neighborhood playground and green space, while nearby Gunston Community Center features tennis courts, sports fields, fitness programs, and year round community activities.
