The fully renovated main level stuns with gleaming hardwood floors and beautifully crafted custom window frames and ledges. A spacious formal dining room flows seamlessly into both the sunlit living area and a large eat-in kitchen, complete with granite floors, matching backsplash, double pantry, and decorative mullion cabinetry.

The upper-level bathroom has been thoughtfully reimagined in a chic Italian country style, boasting warm inlay tile, elegant cabinetry, and a sleek low-profile tub. Three generously sized bedrooms offer great natural light and French door closets. On the walk-in level, you'll find an open-concept kitchen/dining/entertainment space, a half bathroom, and sliding doors that lead to the backyard. A third distinct living area includes an additional kitchen hookup, full bath, and bedroom with its own private entrance—ideal for guests or independent living.

Additional features include central heat and air, a private driveway, garage, laundry area, utility room, attic storage, and a fully fenced yard with a patio for dining and entertaining. Low taxes complete this incredible opportunity.
