The kitchen showcases a beautiful white oak island, custom full-height cabinetry, built-in refrigerator, premium LG appliances, and an abundance of natural light. The adjoining dining area offers convenient access to the rear deck and fenced backyard. A rare and desirable feature of this home is the addition of two spacious primary suites!

Upstairs, you'll find a second primary suite with a private bathroom, two additional bedrooms, another beautifully updated full bathroom, and a spacious family room highlighted by a lighted tray ceiling. One of the bedrooms also features access to a charming private balcony. Extensive renovations include updated electrical and plumbing, dual-zone HVAC, new roof, siding, and windows (2025), refinished hardwood flooring, and beautiful custom porcelain tilework throughout. The exterior offers even more to appreciate with a fenced backyard, paver patio, rear deck, convenient front parking, and a 2.5-car detached garage complete with loft space and a dedicated electrical subpanel.
