Property Description

From the moment you pull into the driveway, you’ll fall in love! Mature landscaping, beautiful flower beds, and inviting outdoor spaces welcome you to this well-maintained home, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Follow the winding sidewalk to the covered front porch with LVP flooring. Inside, the foyer with Whisper Plank flooring opens to the staircase, kitchen, and formal dining room. The dining room features floor-to-ceiling custom built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, a bay window, and gleaming hardwood floors; and leads to a sunroom overlooking a beautiful hardscaped patio and private, tree-lined, fenced backyard. An electric awning provides shade for the sunroom and patio. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, Whisper Plank flooring, abundant cabinetry, a peninsula breakfast bar, wall oven and microwave, and separate cooktop. The open layout flows into the great room, complete with hardwood floors, a brick wood-burning fireplace, double doors to the screened-in porch, and a peninsula counter with seating.
