I'm the kind of home that knows how to make an entrance-and an even better first impression. I've been exceptionally loved, thoughtfully improved, and styled with beautiful finishes and attention to detail in all the right places. My main level brings everyone together with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, along with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Downstairs, I offer even more room to spread out with a spacious family room and cozy fireplace, plus a large bedroom with a full bath that could also make an incredible home office or private guest suite. But just wait until you step outside. My large deck overlooks a fully fenced backyard designed for living, playing, and entertaining. There's a secluded hot tub area, a brick patio with a built-in grilling feature, and an additional two-car garage with an epoxy floor-perfect for parties, hobbies, pool-day overflow, or the ultimate hangout space. And yes, I have a 20x46 in-ground pool with a diving board! Even with all that fun, there is still plenty of flower lined, beautiful yard for kids, furry friends, and backyard games. Since 2016, I've received an impressive list of updates, including the furnace, windows, whole-house generator, pool liner, fence, shed, pool pump, fiberglass sand filter, chlorinator, microwave, dishwasher, water softener, whole house water filter and washer and dryer. I'm polished, practical, and prepared to make everyday life feel a little more like a getaway.
