This pristine home, nestled in a sidewalk community, has been thoughtfully updated and is ready for its new owners. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by an inviting foyer that sets the tone for the entire home. The spacious living room boasts an abundance of windows, allowing natural light to fill the space and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. For more formal gatherings, the separate dining room provides an elegant setting that flows seamlessly into the heart of the home - the updated kitchen. Boasting a new island and Silestone countertop (2025), this kitchen is not only beautiful but functional, offering ample storage and seating. With tons of cabinetry, stunning Corian countertops, and a brand-new slider (2025) leading to the outdoor space, this kitchen is a chef's dream! Step outside to your private backyard oasis, featuring a gorgeous brick paver patio (2025) that's perfect for entertaining. The fully fenced yard also includes additional deck space for enjoying sunny afternoons and warm evenings. The main level is completed by a family room with a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for those chilly nights, and a convenient half bath. As you make your way to the second floor, you'll discover the tranquil primary suite, complete with a walk-in closet and a beautifully updated bathroom (2016) featuring a walk-in tiled shower. Three additional bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, and a full bathroom with a tiled surround bathtub provide plenty of space for family and guests. Don't miss the full finished basement, which adds valuable living space to this already generous home. It includes a versatile extra room ideal for a home office, gym, or playroom, as well as recreation space, a laundry room, and plenty of storage options. The side driveway makes parking a breeze, with room for multiple vehicles. Additional updates include windows (2025), a water heater with a hot water booster (2026), AC (2020), furnace (2020), humidifier (2020), back stoop (2025), and washer/dryer (2020), ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
