Property Description
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.
The newly renovated laundry room and powder room, along with the back hallway, feature hardwood flooring. A convenient exterior door provides access to the driveway.
The oversized, updated screened-in porch is ideal for morning coffee, relaxing evenings, and entertaining. Featuring LVP flooring, ceiling fans, and access to the great room, patio, and backyard, this inviting space extends your living area outdoors.
The backyard is truly a private oasis! Enjoy the fenced, tree-lined yard, plus additional open space beyond the fence for gardening, recreation, and outdoor activities. The thoughtful design and meticulous maintenance are best appreciated in person!
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a primary suite with a fully renovated private bathroom and walk-in closet. The remodeled hall bathroom features a double-sink vanity and Jacuzzi walk-in shower. The three additional bedrooms offer hardwood floors and abundant natural light. One bedroom is currently used as a dressing room with a professionally installed closet system.
The finished basement offers flexible space for a pool table, home theater, game room, or recreation area, with exterior egress. The unfinished area provides generous storage. A multi-sump-pump backup alarm system was installed several years ago.
Additional features include a two-car garage with storage cabinets, a backyard shed, and a pull-down attic with plywood flooring for storage.

Solar Panels: The leased solar panels cost $65 per month, and the electric bill is reported to be minimal ($50-60/month). The buyer may assume the life-time lease or arrange (and pay) for removal, subject to lease terms and provider requirements. The panels were professionally removed and reinstalled during the recent roof replacement. The lease is available upon request. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence. Lease paperwork and utility bills available for review.
Additional Information: The approximately two-year-old saltwater hot tub is negotiable with a full-price offer or higher. Electric stair chairs are installed on both sets of steps. The sellers plan to remove them but may consider selling them to the buyer.
