Set well back from the road on a beautifully private 1.2-acre lot, this 2 bedroom/2 bath home offers space to spread out, sunlight to enjoy it in, and room to garden. Leverage the deck and patio outdoor areas to extend living space outside on nice days. The kitchen features a built-in breakfast bar overlooking the dining area with hardwood floors. French doors from the dining room open to a large enclosed room that currently serves as a living room but offers flexible use, complete with ceiling fans, plenty of windows, and doors to the back deck and front yard. A den and bonus room round out the first floor, along with a full bath featuring a jacuzzi tub. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, and skylights; the second bedroom offers plenty of natural light, and the third room can be used as a home office, playroom, or additional sleeping space for guests, opening to a large balcony overlooking the woods. A 3/4 bath adds functionality and convenience to the second floor. An attached, oversized 2-car garage provides valuable storage and parking, with a partially-finished flex space above complete with storage closets — your options are wide open: home gym, game room, guest space, or additional storage. A shed provides even more storage for tools and equipment. With its private setting, generous outdoor spaces, and flexible layout, this home is seeking an owner who values the opportunity to personalize it with their own updates and enhancements.
