There are plenty of houses for sale, but every once in a while, you enter one and immediately think, “this feels like home.” This is one just might be one of those houses for you. The main level is a classic picture of suburban comfort, with spaces that feel connected while still having a purpose of their own. At the center is the kitchen, where new light fixtures give the space a fresh, modern feel. It opens to a light filled morning room with skylights that could easily serve as a sunroom, and from there, everything flows into the living room with its gas fireplace and mantel. It’s easy to picture this entire part of the home filling up for the next big game day party, while the kitchen remains right in the middle of it all. A private home office means working from home doesn’t require sacrificing a bedroom, while the formal dining and sitting rooms off the entrance offer even more room for hosting, gathering or simply spreading out. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat of its own. The bedroom is large enough to comfortably create a separate sitting area, with generous closet space and a remodeled ensuite that brings some serious spa energy. The lighted mirrors and vanity create a place to actually enjoy a leisurely morning routine, while the oversized shower and soaking tub make it just as inviting at the end of the day. Four additional bedrooms are located toward the opposite wing of the upper level and share a spacious remodeled hall bathroom, giving the primary suite added privacy without feeling disconnected from the rest of the home. Not many homes have five bedrooms upstairs! Upper level laundry keeps one more part of everyday life conveniently where you need it. The lower level adds another layer of flexibility. Finished space with French doors leading directly to the backyard can adapt to what you need, whether that’s a home gym, guest space, second living area, or the possibility of a more private multilevel living arrangement. There’s also unfinished basement space ready for future possibilities or simply valuable on site storage, giving you room to grow into the home without having to decide today exactly what that space needs to become. Outside, a deck and patio added in 2020 overlook a backyard shaded by mature fruit trees, extending the living space beyond the house and giving you multiple places to enjoy the outdoors when you aren't hanging out at the neighborhood's pool, pickleball court, tennis court, or clubhouse. And while it’s easy to focus on how this home feels, there’s real value behind the scenes, too.
