OFFER DEADLINE - Tuesday April 28 at Noon. Just in time for summer, this beautifully maintained home sits on a landscaped half-acre lot framed by old growth shade trees with fruit-bearing apple and pear trees, fully enclosed by a brand new composite fence, featuring an in-ground pool with diving board, hot tub, 2-year-old composite pool deck, and a sunroom overlooking your private backyard retreat.

The updated kitchen features brand new appliances and opens to an inviting open-concept living and dining area anchored by one of the home's two fireplaces. The main level includes the primary suite with an en-suite bathroom and separate access to the backyard, along with two additional bedrooms, a full guest bathroom, and a light-filled sitting room perfect for unwinding after a long day. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, ideal for guests or home office options, with ductless mini-split systems providing efficient and comfortable climate control. The expansive 1,200 square foot finished walkout basement offers flexible space for recreation and guests. Major system updates provide peace of mind, including a 50-year roof (6 years old), brand new water heater, fresh paint throughout, and three heat pumps all replaced within the last 3 years, including two ductless mini-split systems serving the upper level and a separate heat pump with oil backup servicing the main and lower levels. Additional highlights include a welcoming front porch, oversized shed for extra storage, and a location within walking distance to the elementary school.
