Thoughtfully expanded and renovated in 2014-and enhanced with additional updates in 2026-this four-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is move-in ready. An expansive front porch and generous setback create a gracious welcome. Inside, the light-filled main level features soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, a dramatic stone fireplace, built-in surround sound and an open layout designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Newly painted interiors and thoughtfully updated lighting give the entire first floor a fresh, polished feel. At the heart of the home is a spacious chef's kitchen equipped with a Viking five-burner cooktop, two electric ovens-including convection-stainless-steel appliances, generous cabinetry and abundant space for casual dining. Beautiful stained-glass French doors connect the kitchen to the rear deck and landscaped, fully fenced backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
