Remarks:

Welcome home to this character-filled 1978 retreat, perfectly nestled on a cul-de-sac in a well-established neighborhood known for its wide roads and beautiful, tree-lined streets with no HOA to dictate rules. You’ll love the peace and quiet of this location, while still being incredibly convenient to all your favorite shopping and dining spots. Inside, the home boasts timeless features like rich hardwood floors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and two large, cozy rock fireplaces. The heavy lifting has already been done for you with major high-value upgrades, including premium Pella windows and skylights throughout, a new water heater, a new roof complete with downspouts and gutters with gutter guards, plus a new septic system and drain field installed in 2014. While the kitchen is ready for your personal modern updates, its potential is massive—it already features a huge Pella skylight and opens up into one of the absolute best sunrooms you’ve ever seen! The sunroom's expansive windows frame a gorgeous view of your large pool and the perfect blend of landscaped yard and mature trees for ultimate privacy. You will also enjoy the lovely Hosta garden next to the pool area and plenty of green space for play located behind the pool. Heading inside from a swim? A dedicated pool changing room and bathroom are accessible right off the pool area. The outdoor living area is expansive and includes a front porch, a back covered patio, side patios, and plenty of room for pool side relaxing. The lower level offers an incredible opportunity for a rental apartment or true multi-generational living, complete with its own private exterior entrance and direct access from the garage. This space features a large main room with its own cozy fireplace, a private patio, and access to a private fenced side lot. Plus, the huge, light-filled downstairs laundry room—featuring a massive window overlooking the pool—almost makes doing laundry a pleasant task! Equipped with a sink, a beverage fridge, and tons of counter and cabinet space, this room is perfectly primed to serve as a kitchenette or be easily converted into a full second kitchen. Bring your vision and make this dream home your own!
