Description

Set on a private end-unit corner lot backing to protected woods, this 4,400-square-foot Country French Estates home offers a level of privacy and setting that's genuinely hard to find. Over $145,000 in thoughtful upgrades across the past eight years means the big-ticket items are already done: a new roof, new HVAC system, new appliances, new reinforced driveway, refreshed landscaping, and new siding all combine to deliver true move-in-ready peace of mind. Outside, a firepit and new 500-square-foot Trex deck with a built-in hot tub creates an entertainer's retreat overlooking the wooded backdrop. Inside, the open-concept main level is anchored by hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, and walls of windows that frame the wooded views and fill the home with natural light. A formal dining room opens directly to the deck, while a sitting room with a gas fireplace and a home office with French doors provide flexible spaces for both everyday living and quiet focus. The two-story family room, also warmed by a gas fireplace, serves as a dramatic centerpiece for gatherings large and small. At the heart of it all, the gourmet kitchen pairs cherry cabinetry with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by a center island with breakfast bar, a pantry, and a dedicated eating area. The primary suite delivers a true owner's retreat, featuring a cathedral ceiling, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with dual-sink quartz vanity, soaking tub, and tiled shower. With 5 well-appointed bedrooms and 4.5 baths total, there's room for family, guests, and everything in between. The finished basement rounds out the home's living space with a full bar outfitted with a dishwasher, wine fridge, mini fridge, and three mounted TVs, alongside a full bath with tiled shower, a fifth bedroom, and a padded sports room ideal for a home gym or play space. The surrounding neighborhood offers its own quiet appeal, with a community park, walking trails, and two fishing ponds woven throughout for residents to enjoy. Po
