Gather and relax in the living room, and stay cozy on winter evenings thanks to the fireplace that also serves as the haven’s focal point. The open dining area is easily within reach of the kitchen, and another living area—perfect for setting up an entertainment center, a home office, or a play area—is right around the corner. Updates in the timeless kitchen are especially noteworthy, with granite counters and stainless steel appliances alongside gorgeous cabinetry. Whether you’re entertaining guests or simply enjoying laidback time in the comfort of home, the layout makes it easy to enjoy quality time with loved ones. 

One of this home’s top perks is the fact that it offers so much versatile square footage, which includes 3 spacious bedrooms.

Settle into a bubble bath at the end of a long day to truly relax! Plus, a large walk-in closet with an organization system is all yours here as well. 

A park-like getaway in the backyard is ready for entertaining a crowd, sunny relaxation, and staying active. Play basketball and pickleball on the sports court, hang out on the covered patio and BBQ dinner, and circle around the fire pit to roast marshmallows while the sun sets. A sprinkler system keeps your lawn looking green, and tall surrounding trees just add to the picturesque atmosphere! There’s plenty of versatile convenience, too—discover a storage shed with power for all of the extras, RV parking, and a 2-car garage.
