In the 2nd bedroom boasts a custom built in queen size Murphy bed. Very unique! The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed with painted cabinetry, updated countertops, stylish backsplash, and newer dishwasher and microwave/hood - all stainless steel, creating a bright and functional heart of the home. The fully finished basement dramatically expands your living space with Rustoleum rock solid metallic epoxy flooring, upgraded lighting, detailed trim work, and a striking live-edge epoxy bar top - ideal for entertaining.

Outdoor living is equally impressive. Enjoy a fenced decorative gravel patio complete with accent lighting and shade sail system, plus a greenhouse, new shed, added garage storage lofts, updated garage with vinyl siding, new porch railings and porch roofs, custom shutters, and extensive landscaping including native gardens and added privacy trees. Additional recent upgrades include newer windows in key living areas, new front and back storm doors, and a whole-home upright carbon filtration system with spin down pretreatment designed to address local water conditions. Energy-conscious buyers will appreciate the leased solar panel system, which transfers to the new owner and helps reduce monthly electric costs.
