Classic curb appeal and a charming rocking-chair front porch create a warm first impression, while pride of ownership is evident from the moment you step inside. Natural chestnut trim, hardwood floors, and pocket doors are just a taste of the timeless character this home has to offer. The recently updated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a large center island with seating, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of workspace. The spacious and practical main-level layout also includes a formal dining room, living room, separate family room, and a full bath.Upstairs are 3 generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully updated main bath featuring a double-sink vanity, large walk-in shower, and skylight. The partially finished basement provides additional living space with a recreation room, along with ample storage, and a separate utility room. Outside, the expansive park-like backyard offers plenty of room to relax, entertain, or play, while a detached garage and generous driveway add everyday convenience. Ideally located near shopping, dining, parks, and major commuter routes, this home offers a wonderful combination of classic charm, thoughtful updates, and space both inside and out. This gem won't last!
