Description

Pristine property in fantastic location! This 4-5 bedroom 2 bath home is in a very desirable location close to the hospital and schools. The main floor boasts a large & bright living room with fireplace and gorgeous hardwood floors (refinished in 2022) that extend into the formal dining room, a great breakfast room looking out over the backyard, and a truly enviable & upscale kitchen with quartz counters and high-end vintage style appliances! Rounding out the main floor are 2 spacious rooms that could be used as bedrooms, and a lovely updated full bath. Upstairs, the large master bedroom is bright & cheery, and has a great master bath (shared access) with walk in shower & double sinks. The other 2 bedrooms upstairs both have LOTS of built ins- both have a built in bed, one has several built-in drawers, and the other a great built-in desk, hardwood floors, and great "attic" storage. Full basement with additional refrigerator & freezer that stay. Spacious, fully fenced back yard with beautiful landscaping and nice patio area. Attached garage, plus the roof, gutters & gutter guards were new in summer 2025. Note that the current taxes do not include any homestead exemptions that a future owner may be entitled to. It is evident how meticulously this home has been maintained- don't miss your chance to make this home your own!
