With 5 well-proportioned bedrooms and 2 baths spread across 2,108 square feet, there's room for everyone here-whether you're growing into the space, hosting extended family, or carving out a dedicated home office or guest room. At the center of it all is a newer kitchen, ready for everything from quick weekday meals to holiday gatherings, with a large formal dining room right alongside it to comfortably host friends and family. Comfort is covered in every season thanks to a 2024 energy-efficient heat pump providing central air. Downstairs, a full basement offers a rare blank canvas brimming with potential. Picture a spacious family room, a rec area, a media lounge, a home gym, or a play space-whatever suits your lifestyle.
