Offering nearly 3,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space, this meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been thoughtfully enhanced with quality improvements, including a professionally constructed Trex deck and the added peace of mind of a whole-house generator.

The beautifully updated kitchen features elegant quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a pantry, recessed lighting, generous prep space, and a bright breakfast area overlooking the private backyard, creating the perfect space for everyday living and entertaining alike. French doors lead to a professionally constructed Trex deck overlooking beautifully landscaped grounds, an expansive paved patio, winding garden paths, and mature trees, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying nature. The spacious primary suite offers a true private retreat with dual walk-in closets and a luxurious ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and separate shower.
