A welcoming foyer introduces a thoughtfully designed floor plan filled with character and opportunity. The heart of the home is the impressive living room, where soaring vaulted ceilings accented by exposed wood beams create warmth and architectural interest.

Many updates have already been completed throughout the home, allowing new owners to move right in while still having the opportunity to add their own personal touches over time. The first-floor primary suite is generously sized and designed as a private retreat. A heated and cooled four-season sunroom extends from the bedroom, creating the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, read a book, or simply take in the peaceful views year-round. The beautifully updated en-suite bath features a dual-sink vanity, walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for guests, hobbies, or a home office, while the updated secondary bath conveniently incorporates the laundry area. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience, and the wooded setting creates a sense of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find.
