The private primary suite, tucked away at the rear of the home, includes a walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom featuring elevated ceilings, a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Additional highlights include updated plumbing and electrical systems, a French drain, a walk-up attic with shelving for extra storage, a partially finished basement perfect for a workshop or flex space, and a thoughtfully designed powder room on the main level. The flat, deep backyard features a stone patio-ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, lounging, or simply enjoying the lush surroundings. A horseshoe driveway provides ample parking.
