Thoughtfully designed for both comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining, this beautifully maintained Craftsman-inspired residence welcomes you with timeless architectural details, quality finishes, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan that lives as beautifully as it looks. Hardie siding accented by board-and-batten details, raised panel shutters, manicured landscaping, and a welcoming covered front porch framed by substantial columns create an inviting first impression. A side-entry garage enhances the home's curb appeal while the mature wooded backdrop provides a peaceful sense of privacy. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, beautiful hardwood flooring, and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout the main living areas. Anchored by a cozy fireplace, the spacious family room serves as the heart of the home, flowing effortlessly into the kitchen, dining area, and outdoor living spaces for seamless everyday living and entertaining. Designed with both functionality and style in mind, the kitchen features 42-inch cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a five-burner gas range vented to the exterior, a spacious breakfast bar illuminated by pendant lighting, and a stainless steel dual-basin sink overlooking the backyard. Just beyond, the chandelier-lit dining area with classic chair rail detailing provides an elegant setting for everything from casual family dinners to holiday gatherings while maintaining an open connection to the surrounding living spaces. The thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan provides exceptional privacy, placing the primary suite in its own secluded wing of the home. This relaxing retreat features a spacious bedroom, an organized walk-in closet with adjustable solid wood shelving, and a beautifully appointed ensuite bath complete with a jetted soaking tub, walk-in tiled shower, cultured marble vanity, linen storage, and timeless beadboard accents. On the opposite side of the home, two generously sized guest bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath featuring a single vanity, classic hexagon tile flooring, and a tub/shower combination. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room offers outstanding flexibility as a media room, home office, fitness space, playroom, or fourth bedroom. Complete with its own thermostat and walk-in attic storage, it's a versatile extension of the home's already impressive living space. Step outside to a rear deck that serves as a natural extension of the home's entertaining areas, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, weekend cookouts, or simply relaxing beneath the trees. The expansive backyard offers room to play, garden, or unwind in peaceful surroundings, while a dedicated fire pit area invites memorable evenings spent with family and friends. Practical amenities are equally impressive. An oversized side-entry garage provides space for two vehicles along with additional storage or workshop potential, while a detached storage building with a roll-up door offers even more room for lawn equipment, recreational gear, or hobbies. A generator hookup, RV hookup, outdoor shower, and mature tree-lined setting further enhance the home's comfort, functionality, and everyday livability.
