Step inside to find hardwood floors, tray ceilings, new paint and trim, and a living room that's wired for surround sound with an added electric fireplace and built-in air purifier. The kitchen feels like the heart of the home — open, welcoming, and perfect for cooking while still being part of the conversation.

Unwind with sunset views from the shaded back porch, or set up your dream outdoor office in the gazebo — complete with electricity.

This home has the space, the setting, and the lifestyle you've been looking for — all that's missing is you. **Be sure to note the immense amount of upgrades done this year alone!**
