One of the showstopping features of this home is the cathedral-ceilinged living room, highlighted by stunning stained-glass windows that flood the space with natural light. A second wood-burning fireplace serves as the focal point of the room, flanked by French doors that open to a private backyard oasis. Step outside and enjoy the heated in-ground pool, ideal for both relaxation and recreation, surrounded by mature landscaping that provides beauty and seclusion year-round.
The updated kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a large center island, modern appliances, and direct access to the rear deck overlooking the pool—perfect for al fresco dining or weekend gatherings.
The main level includes two generously sized bedrooms and a full hall bath, ideal for guests, family, or a home office setup.
Upstairs, you'll find a spacious and serene primary suite, featuring his-and-her closets and a brand-new, luxuriously renovated en-suite bathroom with modern fixtures and elegant finishes.

The walk-out lower level adds even more versatile living space with a full bathroom, abundant storage, and access to a private patio—ideal for multi-generational living, a recreation room, gym, or future guest suite.
