There's no place like home! Thoughtful updates, generous living space, and exceptional outdoor living come together in this beautifully maintained brick-front Colonial. The backyard is ready for summer with a 4-year-old radiant in-ground, heated, saltwater pool featuring a transferable lifetime shell warranty, stamped concrete patio, covered entertaining area, and mature trees that provide a private setting for relaxing or entertaining. A separate fenced area with a storage shed adds even more outdoor functionality. Inside, the kitchen (2022) features granite countertops, porcelain tile flooring, black and black stainless appliances, and fresh paint (2026). Hardwood flooring runs throughout the rest of the main level, which also includes a family room with wood burning stove, formal dining room, and a separate living room that can easily serve as a home office, sitting room, or additional gathering space. A convenient half bathroom and interior access to the attached two-car garage complete the main level, while a sliding glass door leads to the rear deck overlooking the backyard. Upstairs, new carpet (2026) was installed on the stairs and in the office, while luxury vinyl plank flooring (2026) was added to the hallway and primary suite. The upstairs laundry room adds everyday convenience. The primary suite features fresh paint, a vaulted ceiling with ceiling fan, private balcony, walk-in closet, and an updated en-suite bathroom (2026) with tile flooring, a soaking tub, and a tiled walk-in shower. The hall bathroom was also renovated in 2026 with tile flooring and a tiled tub/shower surround. The expansive finished lower level offers flexibility with plenty of space for a recreation room, home theater, home gym, or game room. Utilities are conveniently located in a separate unfinished area, maximizing the finished living space. The lower level also features a French drain system with vapor barrier and a transferable lifetime warranty, along with an EZ Breathe whole-home ventilation system.
