The main-floor primary suite offers a private deck, dual closets, and a spa-like bath with jetted tub and walk-in shower. Upstairs, a loft connects two bedrooms and a full bath. The finished basement adds 1,400+ sq ft with an additional full bath. HOA covers landscaping, snow removal, painting, and more-leaving you free to enjoy nearby trails, shopping, dining, and easy commuter access.
