Tucked away in the maintenance-free community of Academy Woods, this cul-de-sac home blends elegance and comfort. A brand-new cedar shake roof (a $90k upgrade) along with freshly painted sidings, soffits and fascia enhance its curb appeal, while a wall of windows fills the living room with natural light, highlighting vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and hardwood floors. The kitchen features quartzite countertops, a large island, stainless steel appliances, and maple cabinetry, opening to a sunny dining area and spacious deck. The main-floor primary suite offers a private deck, dual closets, and a spa-like bath with jetted tub and walk-in shower. Upstairs, a loft connects two bedrooms and a full bath. The finished basement adds 1,400+ sq ft with an additional full bath. HOA covers landscaping, snow removal, painting, and more-leaving you free to enjoy nearby trails, shopping, dining, and easy commuter access.
