Tucked away with peaceful backyard views and no neighbors directly behind, this charming bungalow offers a rare sense of privacy paired with thoughtful updates throughout. From the moment you step inside, the home feels inviting, with a comfortable layout and an oversized primary bedroom featuring two closets and serene views of the backyard. A second bedroom or office creates flexibility for guests, work, or hobbies. Renovated bathrooms and an updated kitchen with refreshed countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, pantry, and island bring both style and function together.
Just off the kitchen, sliding glass doors open to a trellis covered deck, the perfect spot for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. The backyard feels like your own little retreat with established perennials, raised garden beds, and a peaceful creekside setting.
Downstairs, the walkout lower level offers incredible versatility with a tuck under garage, spacious living area, 3/4 bath, and nearby laundry. Whether you are dreaming of a cozy hangout space, guest area, or future apartment style setup, there is room to make it your own. A patio and garden shed add even more usability outdoors.
With updates including radon mitigation, newer water heater, HVAC improvements, washer and dryer, interior paint, built-ins, and window coverings, this home is move in ready and easy to love! Call to schedule your showing today!
