Tucked away in a serene, private setting, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers a refreshing departure from the ordinary. It's the perfect balance between a peaceful retreat and convenient access to life's essentials—just minutes from vibrant shopping, dining, and access to major roadways. Step inside, and the main level unfolds with thoughtful touches designed for both function and flair. The kitchen is the heart of the home, where tile flooring meets the richness of granite countertops and maple cabinets. Stainless steel appliances and gas cooking cater to your culinary side, while a peninsula offers extra workspace or a casual spot for breakfast. Just off the kitchen, the family room feels like a cozy retreat, centered around a gas fireplace. French doors beckon you to the screened-in porch, a sun-dappled haven with wood floors and skylights that invite the outside in. Enjoy entertaining in the formal living room, where hardwood floors and crown molding add a sense of timeless sophistication. The dining room elevates your meals with its own hardwood floors, crown molding, and chair rail accents. And when it's time to focus, a dedicated office space provides a quiet spot for work or study. The main level also includes a full bath, perfect for guests, and a well-equipped laundry room, with access to the deck. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a personal retreat. Hardwood floors, ceiling fan and primary bath with a dual vanity, abundant storage, and a generous shower, set the stage for relaxation. The suite also includes room for a sitting area and a large walk-in closet with shelving. Three additional bedrooms, each with hardwood floors and ceiling fans, share a beautifully updated hall bath with double sinks and elegant floor-to-ceiling tile in the shower. The lower-level surprises with a carpeted recreation room, complete with a wet bar and a second fireplace for cozy evenings. French doors lead to the side yard, while a powder room and spacious utility room provide practicality. Set on a lush, half-acre wooded lot, the outdoor space offers both privacy and enjoyment of your natural surroundings. The screened-in porch and wood deck are perfect for al fresco dining or simply soaking in the quiet atmosphere. A whole-house generator ensures peace of mind, and the extra-long driveway offers ample parking for family and guests alike. This home is not just an escape from suburbia—it's a place where every detail feels intentional, offering both comfort and a touch of the unexpected.
