From its inviting exterior to the spacious and well-planned interior, this home combines classic appeal with contemporary amenities.
As you approach the home, you're greeted by the welcoming sight of lap siding and brick accents, evoking the timeless charm of a cozy cottage. Three dormer windows rise above the roofline, allowing natural light to flood the upper spaces while adding architectural interest. The covered front porch stretches out in front, beckoning you to enjoy the outdoors in comfort, whether for a quiet moment with a book or for greeting neighbors as they pass by. Accentuated with shutters framing the windows, the facade captures the essence of a quaint countryside home.
Stepping inside through the front door, you're met with a cozy foyer that serves as the heart of the home’s main level. To the right is the formal dining room, an elegant space with direct access to the kitchen through a convenient door. This setup makes hosting dinner parties and family gatherings a breeze, allowing for seamless transitions between meal prep and entertainment. The dining room's placement also provides a beautiful view of the front yard, making it an ideal setting for both intimate dinners and festive celebrations.
Beyond the foyer, the house opens up to the stunning great room, which is sure to be the focal point of daily life. With its cathedral ceiling, this room feels expansive and airy, while the fireplace along the left wall adds a touch of coziness and warmth. Perfect for gathering with family or relaxing after a long day, the great room flows effortlessly into the outdoor living space. Double doors lead to a deck or terrace area at the back of the house, where you can enjoy morning coffee, evening sunsets, or weekend barbecues with loved ones. Whether indoors or out, this space offers a seamless connection to nature.
Adjacent to the great room is the informal breakfast area, bathed in sunlight thanks to a beautiful bay window. This cozy nook is perfect for casual meals or morning routines, offering a peaceful spot to start the day. Connected to the breakfast area is the home’s kitchen, where form meets function. Though compact, the kitchen is efficient, complete with modern appliances, a small pantry for storage, and ample counter space for meal preparation. The layout ensures that the cook is always part of the conversation, whether hosting guests or spending time with family.
A hallway off the kitchen area leads to other key parts of the home. Here, you’ll find the utility closet, providing space for laundry and household chores, as well as access to the 2-car garage—ideal for parking and additional storage. A convenient powder room is tucked along this corridor for guests' use. At the end of the hallway, the master suite offers a private oasis away from the bustle of daily life. With a large window overlooking the backyard, the master bedroom is filled with natural light and offers a peaceful retreat. The walk-in closet provides ample storage, and the ensuite bathroom is a true highlight, featuring a dual-sink vanity, a whirlpool tub positioned under a window, a separate shower, and a private toilet area. Every detail in this space is designed for comfort and relaxation.
On the opposite side of the home are two additional secondary bedrooms, perfect for children, guests, or even a home office. These bedrooms share a hall bathroom, strategically located between them. One of the bedrooms offers direct access to this bathroom, adding an extra layer of convenience.
While the main level offers plenty of living space, the second floor provides additional versatility with 672 square feet of unfinished storage space. This area is ideal for seasonal items or could be converted into a home gym, office, or craft room depending on your needs. Additionally, there is a 368 square foot bonus room located above the garage, offering endless possibilities for a future playroom, home theater, or guest suite.
