Discover a unique layout, thoughtful updates, and exceptional living space throughout! A spacious foyer welcomes you with a striking front door and wide plank ceramic tile. Hardwood floors run through the bright living room and front sitting area, while the formal dining room stands out with a built-in niche perfect for a hutch or sideboard. The beautifully updated kitchen features rich walnut-stained cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (including Fisher and Paykel six-burner range & dishwasher), and two generous pantry closets. The family room boasts vaulted ceilings, custom built-ins, and serene views of the beautifully landscaped yard. Radiant heat warms the family room, garage, laundry area, and second bathroom for added comfort. The laundry room is equipped with a high-end Fisher & Paykel washer and dryer. Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated. All bedrooms are generously sized with excellent storage, and bedroom three is currently used as a craft room. Off the primary bedroom, enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine on a private deck. Natural light floods the home through numerous skylights, including two with motorized shades. Most windows are Pella, with some featuring built-in blinds. Step outside to a brick paver patio complete with a built-in gas grill, outdoor fire pit, and fully fenced yard perfect for entertaining...whole house generator, too! The tandem garage is fully drywalled, heated, and cooled. Additional storage is available in the basement, conveniently accessible from the garage and in the attached storage shed accessed from the yard. A Home Warranty of America Diamond Plan is offered for 13 months of added peace of mind.
