Public Remarks: Step inside and prepare to be surprised--this one is anything but ordinary. From the curb, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home keeps its best secrets tucked away, but once inside, it opens up into a truly impressive and thoughtfully designed space you won't soon forget. The main level offers 1,707 square feet of inviting living space, highlighted by a stunning layout that blends openness with character. The kitchen is perfectly positioned on an elevated level overlooking a massive family room, creating a natural gathering space. A generous breakfast bar comfortably seats six, making it ideal for entertaining or casual everyday living. Just off the main living areas, you'll find a large, light-filled living room with access to not one, but two separate decks. One of these overlooks a backyard that feels more like a private retreat--lush, serene, and surrounded by mature trees and vegetation. This outdoor oasis also features two charming outbuildings, perfect for storage, creative spaces, or your own 'she-shed' and 'he-shed.' Tucked beneath the deck is a peaceful patio complete with a swing and picnic table--an ideal spot to unwind. All three bedrooms are generously sized, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and private en-suite bath. The lower level adds an additional 1,176 square feet, much of it finished, offering incredible flexibility. Here you'll find a full bath, a cozy den with a wood stove, a dedicated workout room, a workshop for projects, and a fun retro touch with uniquely stylish carpet that adds personality to the space. Upstairs has fresh paint throughout including walls, trim, cabinets and ceiling. Practical upgrades provide peace of mind, including a Generac generator wired directly into the home, a 3-year-old gas furnace, and a durable 30-year roof that's only 8 years old. The home is also equipped with a B-Dry sump pump system and retaining wall, both backed by a transferable lifetime warranty. If you're looking for a home with character, space, and standout features--this one delivers in all the best ways.
