01About this home

Pristine turnkey property in fantastic location! You do not want to miss out on this 5 bedroom 2 bath gem in close proximity to the hospital and schools. Home is the definition of move in ready- and is even being sold furnished! The main floor boasts a large & bright living room with fireplace and gorgeous hardwood floors (refinished in 2022) that extend into the formal dining room, a great breakfast room looking out over the backyard, and a truly enviable & upscale kitchen with quartz counters and high-end vintage style appliances! Rounding out the main floor are 2 spacious bedrooms and a lovely updated full bath. Upstairs, the large master bedroom is bright & cheery, and has a great master bath (shared access) with walk in shower & double sinks. The other 2 bedrooms upstairs both have LOTS of built ins- both have a built in bed, one has several built-in drawers, and the other a great built-in desk, hardwood floors, and great "attic" storage. Spacious, fully fenced back yard with beautiful landscaping and nice patio area. Attached 1 car garage, plus the roof, gutters & gutter guards were new in summer 2025. It is evident how meticulously and lovingly this home was both furnished and maintained- don't miss your chance to make this home your own!
