At the heart of the home is a fully renovated kitchen, done in 2023, complete with quartz countertops, a center island, stainless steel appliances, and updated lighting. Just off the kitchen is a light-filled living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace with a charming surround overlooking the backyard, as well as the spacious formal dining room with plantation shutters that offer both elegance and privacy. Upstairs, you'll find all three bedrooms including a generously sized primary suite that offers a relaxing retreat.

You'll also find new Andersen double-hung windows throughout the upper level, enhancing energy efficiency and natural light. This home has been upgraded with fresh paint throughout, brand new carpet throughout, updated lighting fixtures, and improvements to both the front and back outdoor spaces. Outdoor living is just as enjoyable with a refreshed deck overlooking the fully fenced backyard, providing a private space for entertaining, grilling, or simply relaxing in the shade. The yard is landscaped and ready for pets, gardening, or play. A two-car attached garage and additional driveway space offer parking for up to four vehicles.
