Completely renovated in 2017 with modern updates and amenities, this home just gets it. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street in a friendly neighborhood where people still wave to each other, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has the kind of layout that just makes sense. At the heart of it all? A seriously great kitchen. Granite counters, a walk-in pantry that actually holds a Costco haul, and a sprawling island with bar seating—perfect for quick breakfasts, homework help, or just hanging out while dinner simmers. Cherry cabinets with soft-close drawers and doors mean no more slammed fingers—or slammed cabinet doors during moments of teenage drama. The family room flows right into the kitchen, making it easy to keep an eye on things (or binge-watch your favorite show while cooking).Need a little extra space? The front living room is ready to be whatever you need—home office, library, music room, or a quiet retreat behind closed doors if you decide to add them. It even has a gas fireplace (70% efficiency) that keeps things cozy without cranking the heat.The main floor features hickory hardwood floors, bringing warmth and character that feels instantly welcoming. And yes—there’s brand new carpet throughout the rest of the home, so you can skip that part of your moving to-do list.Upstairs, the primary suite is oversized, with a dual vanity bathroom and a walk-in closet. Three more bedrooms and a full bath round out the second floor, giving everyone their own space.But here’s where it gets really practical: the home is equipped with a 96.3% efficiency gas furnace and dual-zone ducting, so you can control upstairs and downstairs temps separately (because no one wants to sleep in a sauna or freeze in the living room). The garage is fully insulated and heated, making it a perfect space for hobbies, workouts, or just not stepping into an icebox every winter morning.Outside, the low-maintenance yard is just the right size for relaxing in the included saltwater hot tub (yes, it stays!) without spending your weekends doing yard work. Plus, you’re right near Henry Hill Park, with its open spaces, trail
