A custom pass-through serving pantry adds both style and function, making entertaining seamless. The kitchen is light-filled and well-appointed, featuring new appliances, plentiful cherry cabinetry, a tiled backsplash, and a large pantry for optimal organization. A primary suite on the main level provides everyday convenience and a private escape. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms share a full bathroom, offering flexible living options for family or guests. The finished basement greatly enhances the home's versatility with a recreation area, wet bar, full bath, additional bedroom, flex space ideal for an office, gym, media room or play area, and a crawl space for added storage. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a spacious deck and seating area that steps down into the expansive backyard-perfect for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the surrounding nature. There is a two car attached garage with room for storage. Updates include: new 6" gutter on the front side of the home, replaced front downspouts, new dormer over the front door with new shingles and ice water shield in affected areas, and a newer HVAC system and water heater (2018).
