This beautiful home in Magnolia Place has been recently updated and offers a spacious open-concept living area on the main floor, as well as a stunning backyard oasis. The first floor boasts a large eat-in kitchen with an island, plenty of storage, stainless steel appliances, including a new gas range with air fryer capability, and a refrigerator that will be conveyed with the house. The kitchen flows into a large living room with cathedral ceilings and a bank of windows that let in ample natural light. Additionally, there is a large office and dining room located at the front of the house with freshly refinished hardwood floors. The first-floor primary suite offers an oasis off of the living room, and the primary bathroom presents a large updated walk-in shower, garden tub, dual vanity, large walk-in closet, and water closet. The second floor features three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with a 4th room that could serve as a bonus room or an additional bedroom. The backyard is perfect for relaxation and entertaining, with a trex deck offering an awning for shade and a large terrace with ample space for hosting friends, a fire pit for cozy nights, or a dip in the hot tub after a long day. The fenced-in backyard provides plenty of room to create your own private oasis. This home also has two attic spaces and ample storage over the two-car garage. It has been updated with Google smart home thermostats, new carpet (December 2023), fresh painted (2024), a smart link garage door, and an updated shower (2024).
