The open-concept main level is anchored by a showpiece kitchen with quartz countertops, built-in convection oven, induction cooktop, and a new island with soft-close drawers (2025) - built for everyday living and hosting. Upstairs, the spacious primary retreat features a spa-inspired ensuite with a freestanding soaker tub and a custom glass shower, while two additional bright, comfortable bedrooms provide the perfect space for kids, guests, or a dedicated work-from-home setup. Set on a larger pie-shaped lot, the home offers a spacious backyard to play, garden, and entertain. Step outside to a fully fenced yard and a 26' x 14' deck, perfect for summer dinners and relaxed evenings. Thoughtful upgrades and smart-home features round it out: Google Nest thermostat, doorbell, camera system, and keypad entry, plus a furnace humidifier (2025), and valuable newer appliances including fridge (2025), dishwasher (2024), and washer (2024). A move-in-ready home in a location that consistently delivers for families and commuters alike.
