Tucked away on a cul-de-sac, this move-in-ready home offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and outdoor enjoyment. The updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, while the renovated full bath upstairs adds a fresh, modern touch. Three bedrooms provide comfortable living, and the finished lower level expands the possibilities with a spacious family room, a second full bath with laundry, and a versatile bonus room currently used as a craft space that could easily serve as a home office, hobby room, or guest area. Recent improvements include a newer oil tank, a roof that's only 7 years old, lower-level windows replaced just one year ago, and newer upstairs windows and sliding glass door, offering added peace of mind. Outside, enjoy a large backyard framed by a classic stone wall with plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, or play, plus a storage shed for all your outdoor equipment. A home with flexible living space inside and room to enjoy outside.
