Exceptional curb appeal and a spacious L-shaped covered front porch immediately welcome you home. Overlooking a peaceful wooded setting across the street, this inviting outdoor space is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind in the evening, or simply take in the tranquil surroundings.

Just beyond the kitchen is a comfortable den that provides endless flexibility as a home office, children's playroom, family room, or hobby space. Upstairs you'll find three comfortable bedrooms, including a generous primary suite featuring an oversized 9x6 walk-in closet and a second 8x7 walk-in closet that is currently utilized as a home office.

Outside, a covered walkway conveniently connects the home to the detached 2.5-car garage, built in 2018, with easy alley access. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof and seamless gutters installed in April 2026 and a new American Standard furnace and central air conditioning system installed in January 2021.
