The updated kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, while the first floor includes a versatile den/office/flex space and full-size washer and dryer, allowing the home to adapt easily to a range of lifestyles. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a private 10' x 19' patio fully enclosed by a privacy fence, overlooking a serene wooded backdrop an ideal setting for outdoor dining or enjoying a quiet morning coffee in a peaceful, secluded environment. Additional highlights include a geothermal heating and cooling system for outstanding energy efficiency, an attached one-car garage, and a dedicated second outdoor parking space. HVAC ducts were recently cleaned and UV-C light added for cleaner air distribution throughout the home.
