The primary bedroom includes a private full bath, while main level laundry located in the main bath adds everyday ease. The finished lower level offers flexible living space with a full bath - ideal for guests, a home office, or recreation - with direct access to the two-car garage.

Pride of ownership is evident throughout - a home that has been carefully cared for and is truly move-in ready.
