This exquisite home, built in 1999, is a testament to craftsmanship and thoughtful design, offering a harmonious blend of comfort and sophistication. As you approach the property, the new wooden front deck greets you, setting the stage for the warmth that awaits inside. The home's facade, a pleasing palette of natural hues, harmonizes with the oversized lot's lush greenery, perched gracefully on a hill at the end of a peaceful dead-end street. Step through the front door and be enveloped by the inviting ambiance of the living room, where a woodburning gas-starter fireplace serves as the heart of the home. The crackle of the firewood and the soft glow of the flames create an atmosphere of cozy intimacy, perfect for chilly evenings. The new wood laminate flooring underfoot adds a touch of rustic charm, while the vaulted ceilings soar above, enhancing the sense of spaciousness. The open floor plan flows seamlessly into the dining area, where a sliding glass door opens to reveal the fenced backyard, a private oasis where nature's symphony provides the soundtrack to your daily life.
