Rarely available in the highly sought-after Valley View neighborhood, this beautifully maintained Colonial is nestled on a picturesque 1-acre wooded lot and located on a quiet street with no through traffic, offering exceptional privacy and a peaceful neighborhood setting. This is the kind of community where homeowners put down roots and stay for years. Lovingly maintained by the same owner since 1998, this exceptional home combines generous living spaces, timeless design, and a flexible floor plan in one of the area's most desirable locations.

Surrounded by mature trees and beautiful landscaping, the property features a two-car side-load garage, an expansive driveway, and a Level II electric vehicle charger that conveys with the home.

The updated gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, a spacious center island with breakfast bar seating, and plenty of prep space. An adjoining breakfast area provides a bright space for casual dining and flows seamlessly into the inviting family room, where a wood-burning fireplace is complemented by an electric fireplace insert offering both supplemental heat and realistic flame effects. Sliding glass doors lead to the expansive rear deck overlooking the wooded backyard. With the home's western exposure, you'll enjoy spectacular sunset views, and the peaceful wooded setting creates a serene, retreat-like atmosphere that feels worlds away while remaining close to everything you need—an ideal place to relax, entertain, or unwind at the end of the day.
