This lovingly maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath split-level home is a true standout, offering space, flexibility, and thoughtful updates throughout. Owned by the original owners, pride of ownership is evident at every turn, with custom features adding warmth and character, including pillars separating the living and dining rooms, a custom corner cabinet in the kitchen and beautiful wood wainscoting in the lower-level family room. The floor plan is incredibly versatile, featuring a living room, dining room, family room, plus a finished lower level that can serve as an additional family or recreation space. The current owners have even swapped the living and dining rooms, but you can adapt it for your lifestyle! Beautiful newer dark luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the main and lower levels, complemented by new carpet in the bedrooms. The primary suite includes a private full bath, while the fourth bedroom-located in the lower level-offers a full ensuite bath updated in 2022. Cozy up in the lower-level spacious family room with its wood-burning fireplace. Plenty of storage is available in the 12x30 crawl space. The fully fenced backyard is huge! With a fun and creative "Boat Bar", its perfect for entertaining and everyday enjoyment! You'll also love the large patio, gazebo, and two sheds. The newer wood fence (less than four years old) adds both privacy and style. Additional highlights include a 2.5-car attached garage with pull-down attic storage, new furnace and A/C (installed just one month ago), a newer humidifier, tankless water heater (August 2025), updated fixtures throughout, new gutters, and a roof and siding approximately 12 years old. A two-speed whole-house fan with remote rounds out this well-appointed home. This home has been thoughtfully cared for and offers many possibilities!
