Originally built in 2002, walk in to high ceilings, fresh paint, new hardwood floors, large windows, and plenty of space to relax or entertain. The remodeled kitchen features all new cabinets, range, and stainless appliances, as well as a dining area and lots of storage space. Cozy up by the fireplace in the adjoining den, which also offers beautiful wood bookshelves and cabinets. A main-floor primary suite highlights a refurbished bathroom complete with heated floors and a large walk-in closet with built-in storage. The downstairs is completed by a front sitting room, an extra room that could serve as a formal dining room or office, an updated half bathroom, and a laundry room with new countertops, washing machine, and dryer. Upstairs two of the bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, and a bonus room leads to a loft that would be perfect for a workout area, play room, or fourth bedroom.
