Welcome to your peaceful retreat. What are you waiting for? This is the home you want to buy! Well-maintained over many years, this inviting single-level home sits on a flat useable 1/2 acre lot with a perfect mix of sun and shade, surrounded by established landscaping and vibrant gardens. The exterior has been freshly re-painted, fully fenced and Trex decks make outdoor living easy. Inside, the kitchen features quartzite countertops, ample storage, and a cozy breakfast nook. The primary suite includes an updated bath with quartz counters and a private porch ideal for your morning coffee or evening wine-down. High ceilings and a cozy wood stove in the living room add warmth and charm, while generously sized bedrooms offer space and flexibility. Modern upgrades include a new leach field in 2024, a hardwired generator hookup, EV charger, and a resurfaced driveway with plenty of parking.
