It starts with fantastic curb appeal including a lush lawn, impeccable landscaping, a brick facade, and a welcoming front porch.

There's a spacious living room with a fireplace and a large bank of windows that bathe the space in natural sunlight. The living room is open to an upper-level loft and to the perfect dining area and kitchen. The dining space has plenty of room to host family and friends.

Down just a few steps from the dining area, you'll discover a marvelous family room with daylight windows and a fireplace. There's a half bath on this level and a bonus room that works great as a home office, a play area for the kids, or a non-conforming bedroom. There's another level below this one that has tons of storage space, room for your dream workshop, and the laundry. The washer and dryer are included. You'll find three nice-sized bedrooms on the upper level and there's a recently remodeled full bath with a tile surround tub/shower combination. The park-like backyard is fantastic.
