Property Description
Tucked into one of those magical neighborhoods where homes rarely become available, this 5-bedroom, 2-bath home feels like a little hidden world of its own. Picture slow evening strolls beneath the canopy of mature trees, summer dinners and weekend BBQs on the back deck overlooking the lush, flat backyard, and the soft sound of the babbling brook just beyond the trees. It is the kind of setting that instantly makes you exhale. Inside, sunlight pours into nearly every room thanks to thoughtful updates and beautifully opened spaces. The stunning 2022 kitchen was designed to be both gorgeous and functional, featuring extensive cabinetry, quartz countertops, a striking blue tile backsplash, and a dedicated coffee bar area that feels straight out of a magazine. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed, creating incredible natural light and an easy, connected flow that makes the entire main level feel bright and welcoming. Natural hickory floors added throughout the first floor in 2022 bring warmth and richness to the space, while renovated bathrooms in 2016 and 2026 add fresh, timeless style. Just off the home, a screened side room offers even more flexibility as a peaceful outdoor living space, reading porch, or carport. The huge partially finished basement adds another versatile living area with endless possibilities for a family room, guest space, office, gym, playroom, or creative studio. Behind the beauty, the home has also been extensively improved for comfort and efficiency with a geothermal system and 400A electrical panel (2016), roof and oversized 6-inch gutters (2021), whole-house surge protector (2023), insulation upgrade (2025), Level 2 EV charger in the carport (2018), and fully paid-off solar panels installed in 2024. Altogether, it feels like something out of a storybook. A home filled with warmth, light, and spaces that invite you to slow down, gather together, and create your own beautiful story for years to come.
