This one will surprise you! It must be seen in person to fully appreciate. Prime location, large private lot, quiet street, lovely community, easy commutes with quick access to HWY 26, and coveted schools. A home built with pride and attention to detail. Always meticulously maintained. Southern exposure fills the home with natural light any time of year. A functional floor plan that was thoughtfully designed for every season of life. Easy to live on the main level with an open flow plan and a spacious deck that says, “Yes, you should host that party!” A wonderful lower level with comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom, living room with a cozy fireplace and bonus room. A yard built for fun! Neighborhood hide-and-seek has never seen a better layout. Summertime slip-and-slides? Yes, please! Let it snow, because the sledding hill is the envy of the street. Need space for hobbies? The yard is a gardener’s dream. A workshop and bonus room, both with interior and exterior access. The photos are great but show even better! [Home Energy Score = 6.
