Description

Want the feel of new construction without the new construction price? This stunning 5-bedroom home has been completely renovated-offering modern updates, spacious living, and incredible value. Extensively updated from top to bottom, including all new electrical, ductwork, HVAC, plus roof, windows, flooring, and more-giving you peace of mind for years to come. The dream kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, a large island, soft-close cabinetry, mosaic tile backsplash, tile flooring, walk in pantry, and an abundance of cabinet and counter space. The open layout offers over 1,000 sq ft of combined kitchen, dining and living space. The main floor also features a bright and inviting library, a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace, convenient main floor laundry, and a great mudroom just off the sliding glass doors. Upstairs, you'll find five spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with dual closets and a beautifully designed en suite featuring a double vanity and huge, custom tiled walk-in shower with bench. Additional highlights include a heated detached garage, fenced yard, and a full basement ready to be finished to your liking. The heated garage features a brand new roof (April 2026), new garage door and new electrical. Ideally located near the hospital, schools, parks, and shopping-this home truly has it all. Move-in ready, fully updated, and priced to sell-don't miss your opportunity!
