Step inside to a handsome living room with a cozy pellet stove flanked by custom built-ins, recessed lighting, and crown molding. The spacious dining room, framed by a large, cased opening, offers crown and chair rail moldings, seamlessly connecting to the living room and redesigned gourmet kitchen-perfect for entertaining! The chef's kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a stainless-steel appliance suite, a five-burner gas range, a chevron-pattern wood ceiling, shaker wood cabinetry, a window ledge, and a decorative backsplash. Beyond the kitchen, you'll find a convenient mudroom/laundry with access to the back porch, and a marble full bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed shower with bench seating.

The huge unfinished basement is accessible from the side of the house and includes a workshop and extensive storage space. The picturesque exterior is equally impressive, featuring a tranquil, fully fenced yard with mature plantings and fruit-bearing trees, a large tiered back deck with a hot tub-partially covered for shade-a delightful swing area, and a firepit, creating a true private oasis. Additional highlights include a wood arbor, stone pathways, and a private driveway.
