Speaking of ambiance, it will be hard to resist cozying up to the wood burning fireplace with a blanket and hot beverage of your choice during those cold winter months! Making your way through downstairs, you'll note that the hardwood floors continue into the spacious primary suite tucked in the back of the home with a walk-in closet featuring custom built in drawers and shelves and a large functional bath with a tile walk-in shower, separate tub and double vanities.

Next up is the conveniently placed half bath, perfect for guest access. Before heading upstairs, there's one last flex room on the first floor that could be used as a den, dining room, play area, game room or even a home gym with pocket doors that allow the option to easily close off or open up this area as needed. It also has a built-in nook with shelves under the stairs that would be perfect for a TV & gaming console or to store books, board games, etc... Upstairs you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, each with a bed situated above a built in cabinet for added storage space. A work/desk alcove in the landing and a full bath with two separate vanities rounds out the upstairs. Now let's talk about the beautifully landscaped exterior! If you prefer to dine outside on a nice spring evening or need a spot to enjoy a cold beverage during the hot summer months, then look no further than the oversized screened porch with a vaulted ceiling! If you're a nature lover, just add a bird feeder and enjoy the views of your feathered friends who are sure to flock to their new favorite feeding station. Just off the screened porch is a deck, which transitions to a flagstone patio, creating the perfect spot for outdoor grilling. A fully fenced yard with an automatic gate at the driveway allows easy access in and out, and the double attached garage offers extra parking and storage space. You're sure to fall in love at first sight with this home! From the custom shaped windows and pocket doors throughout, to the shelter for stacking firewood, attention to form and function are apparent at every turn in this contemporary charmer!
