MINT CONDITION, COMPLETELY TURN-KEY AND BEAUTIFULLY UPDATED, this light-filled home is truly move-in ready and impeccably maintained. Set on a quiet, street, it has a wonderful sense of privacy and feels like a tree house, with lovely views of the surrounding greenery from inside. Central air, great systems and double-pane windows add to the home's comfort and efficiency. The home is wonderfully connected to the outdoors, with views, natural light and easy access to the expansive backyard and deck. The updated eat-in kitchen opens to a beautiful family room with a cathedral ceiling, gas fireplace and sliders to the amazing backyard. A gracious fireplaced living room and separate dining room with sliders to a large deck continue the home's easy connection to the outdoors.Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms, with the ability to expand the living space if desired. The exceptionally large, level, fully fenced backyard is a rare find, with plenty of room for play, gardening and outdoor enjoyment, along with a dedicated garden area and storage shed. The lower level offers flexible space for a play area or home office, while an oversized one-car garage provides excellent additional storage and convenience.A home in this condition, with this setting and this backyard, is a rare find. It truly must be seen to be appreciated — what you cannot appreciate from the street is just how bright, private and special this home feels once inside.
