Property Description

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and overlooking a serene backdrop of mature trees, this .43-acre property offers a welcoming blend of privacy, comfort, and thoughtfully designed spaces. The fully fenced backyard is an inviting retreat—perfect for relaxing or gathering with friends—featuring a custom paver patio (2019) with a Zentro smokeless fire pit, easily accessed from the walkout basement or deck stairs. A new driveway and custom paver walkway add to the home’s polished curb appeal. Inside, rich hardwood flooring flows throughout the main level, enhanced by custom archways and a dramatic two-story foyer filled with natural light. The beautifully updated kitchen (2023) is both stylish and functional, showcasing quartzite countertops, a new sink, cooktop, and backsplash, along with an island, pendant and recessed lighting, newer appliances, and a bright eat-in area. A butler’s pantry-style service space with built-in cabinetry and a mini fridge provides extra room for prep and entertaining, complemented by two additional pantries for ample storage. A secondary exterior entrance leads directly into the mudroom with convenient garage access. The main level also features a formal dining room with elegant chair rail and crown molding, a family room with a cozy gas fireplace, a private office, and a tastefully updated powder room. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms all include walk-in closets, along with the convenience of an upper-level laundry room. The hall bath offers granite counters, LVP flooring, and a modern anti-fog, light-adjustable mirror. The owner’s suite is a true retreat, complete with a tray ceiling, dual walk-in closets, and a fully renovated tranquil bath (2020) featuring a curbless walk-in shower with dual heads, freestanding soaking tub, heated tile floors, Alexa-enabled mirrors with adjustable lighting and speakers, and a WiFi-enabled fan. A fourth bedroom includes its own private princess bath. The finished basement expands the living space with LVP flooring (2023), a wet bar with dishwasher and stacked stone backsplash, a striking floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace, media room with surround sound, fifth bedroom, full bath with granite counters, and additional storage. With major systems already updated, including a new roof (1 year) and HVAC (2020 and approx. 9 years) and a timeless brick and stone exterior, this home offers both peace of mind and lasting appeal. A warm, well-appointed home where comfort, style, and functionality come together beautifully.
