Welcome to this move-in ready, beautifully cared-for home in a quiet, desirable neighborhood, set on an extra-large, fully fenced lot. The owners purchased the additional lot next door, creating rare outdoor space that's perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying added privacy. A dedicated garden area, thoughtfully positioned away from the main outdoor entertaining space, offers the perfect spot for planting, hobbies, or peaceful retreat. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and a warm, inviting feel. The eat-in kitchen is a true highlight, featuring stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a center island with breakfast bar, and skylights that brighten the space. Gleaming hardwood floors add timeless character throughout the main living areas. The lower-level family room provides additional living space ideal for gatherings. A spacious, well-appointed full bathroom features a Kohler whirlpool tub, offering a spa-like experience at home. All bedrooms include custom closet storage systems for easy organization. Two interior fireplaces-one wood-burning and one gas-add cozy ambiance and charm. Recent 2025 improvements include a new gazebo, new fencing, additional concrete work, and professionally installed paver brick walkways, enhancing both outdoor enjoyment and curb appeal. The two-car garage is wired for an electric vehicle, and a 21/2-car parking pad outside offers added convenience. Conveniently located within walking distance to schools, parks, and public transportation, including Arndt Park, which features a brand-new outdoor pool completed in 2024, this well-maintained home offers comfort, space, and functionality-and is truly move-in ready.
