This beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2.1 bath home features hardwood flooring throughout, a sought-after main level primary suite, an updated kitchen and baths, and a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace and custom built-in shelving.

The partially finished basement offers exceptional versatility with a spacious study/flex room that can easily serve as a guest room, home office, fitness room, or hobby space, along with a recreation area, half bath, workshop, and abundant storage. Outside, enjoy the expansive deck and an oversized 2.5 car detached garage with ample space for projects, hobbies, additional storage, or a workshop. A separate storage shed provides even more room for lawn equipment and outdoor essentials. Major updates include owned solar panels (2024) with the opportunity to receive transferable Renewable Energy Credit (REC) benefits, new windows and gutters (2025), and a roof (2021).
