With thoughtful renovations throughout, a lush, private setting and no HOA, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home invites you to settle in and stay awhile. Step through French doors and into the welcoming foyer, where gleaming floors, fresh paint, and natural light guide you through a flowing floorplan. The formal living room is a nice place to greet guests, and the formal dining room is perfect for family dinners or hosting friends. The spacious kitchen is the heart of the home, offering plenty of counter space and cabinetry for everyday cooking and entertaining and is open to a large family room with a cozy fireplace, ideal for relaxed evenings. Just off the family room is a stunning sunroom addition with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering tranquil views of the wooded backyard, making you feel as if you’re in your very own tree house. A perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet reading nook. The main level also has a newly renovated powder room for your guests and laundry is conveniently located on this level. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms, including a large private primary suite featuring two closets, a dedicated vanity table and an ensuite bathroom. A beautifully updated hall bathroom serves the additional three bedrooms, creating a functional and comfortable layout for your family. The fully finished walkout lower level includes a large recreation room with a second fireplace, a newly renovated full bathroom, a kitchenette, and a fifth bedroom—perfect for guests, a home office, or a home gym. Out back, your personal retreat awaits through French doors. An expansive new patio creates the ideal outdoor entertaining space, set against a backdrop of mature trees and fenced yard. Pick fresh blackberries and raspberries in the summer and mulberries in the spring right from your own yard—perfect for jelly, syrup, or homemade pie. There’s room to garden, play, host a cookout, or simply unwind in total privacy. The attached carport offers another space for entertaining or a relaxing family dinner outdoors, with Trex cocktail railing and solar lighting, a decorative ceiling fan and light, and anti-slip epoxy flooring.
