This storybook home is nothing short of perfection. Entertaining guests is a pleasure with various spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Having lived here 25 years, these owners never stopped making improvements and are now ready for life in the sun and warmer climes. You need not do a thing to move in and enjoy this incredibly cared-for brick home with its perfectly manicured lawn, plantings, and a white picket fence, with a beautifully kept inground pool and patio area. Offering an updated chefs kitchen with Viking and Bosch appliances, custom cabinets, granite counters and a large island, the room is open to the light filled den with a catherdral ceiling and windows galore. The updated, neutral first-floor bath is convenient to the pool for easy guest access. Elegant Waterford crystal light fixtures tastefully appoint the spaces with soft light, which spills onto the light colored hardwood floors. No expense has been spared here to create a quality home life experience. Off of the living room, you'll find a sun-filled screened porch with ceramic tile flooring that offers both glass and screens to enjoy all seasons and your beautifully landscaped property, filled with plants and flowers, with views of the pool area. The closet and storage space here are plentiful. With spray foam insulation, your home will be warm in winter and cool in summer, for much less cost than most homes.
