Beautiful landscaping and an extended driveway provide wonderful curb appeal and additional parking for family and guests. Step inside to a spacious front room filled with natural light that offers endless possibilities. Currently used as the dining room, it could easily serve as a formal living room or a combination living and dining space to suit your needs. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring newer cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and a custom-built table that's perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, casual meals, or catching up with family and friends. Just beyond, the inviting sunroom-currently used as the family room-offers a cozy place to relax while overlooking the private, fully fenced backyard. Conveniently located off the kitchen, the first-floor laundry and utility room provides direct access to the oversized 2.5-car tandem garage, offering exceptional space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a workshop. Down the hall, you'll find four comfortable bedrooms. One is perfectly suited as a home office or nursery, while the oversized bedroom provides endless possibilities as a spacious primary retreat or a shared bedroom. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized, and the primary bedroom features its own updated private half bath with a custom vanity. Step outside to enjoy the peaceful, fully fenced backyard-an ideal setting for entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply relaxing after a long day. Recent improvements provide peace of mind and include new flooring throughout, fresh paint, a beautifully remodeled kitchen, updated bathrooms, trim, interior doors, front door, sliding patio door, and a tankless water heater (2023-2024). Additional updates include professional landscaping (2022), privacy fence (2019), extended driveway (2016), windows (2007), and roof (2010). The washer and dryer will also remain with the home.
