Description
Welcome to this gorgeous, lovingly maintained home where pride of ownership shines throughout. From the moment you enter, the spacious and thoughtfully designed floor plan offers a sense of warmth and flow—perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. Step outside and enjoy your beautifully appointed pool, positioned to allow plenty of green space within the fully fenced backyard—ideal for gatherings, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Take it all in from the screened in porch or from the expansive patio that offers a huge and retractable awning system. The patio area is expansive and glides you into the pool area for those hot summer nights. Inside, the sunroom with skylights and a striking starburst window invites natural light and adds to the home’s charm. The 2023 kitchen remodel, enhanced with four extra cabinets, brings a blend of elegance and functionality with shaker-style solid maple cabinet doors, brushed nickel hardware, quartz countertops with a waterfall island, and a stylish mosaic tile backsplash all set on ceramic tile flooring. The large pantry was also enhanced during the renovation to include an alfa shelving system to ensure ample storage space. Recent updates include new heating and air conditioning (2023), Roof (2019), Mohawk laminate flooring on the main level, and hardwood flooring on the second floor and within three bedrooms. An elegant solid oak staircase with wrought iron spindles (2023) adds a touch of craftsmanship and design, while the primary bedroom features a custom-built shoe closet (2024)—a thoughtful and luxurious addition. The finished basement offers even more living space, perfect for a recreation area, home gym, and media room. Every inch of this home reflects careful upgrades, timeless design, and genuine care—ready to welcome its next owner with comfort and style. Schedule your appointment today so you have time to view the pool while it's still open because the cold chill is forcing us to say goodbye to the 2025 pool fun! Make sure you're the one to open it back up in summer '26 making "stay-cations" a luxury to enjoy every summer day!

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
