The main level includes an oversized family room with a fireplace, a spacious dining area, sunroom and an eat-in kitchen with Viking appliances. The main floor primary suite offers ease and privacy. Upstairs, two very bright, generous bedrooms share a full bath with jetted tub, completing the main living space. A detached two-car garage includes a versatile additional 950 sq ft finished living space for an office, apartment, or in-law suite. Large living area overlooking the creek and peaceful backyard, and bedroom/full bath. This home is a stunner... Don't miss it! Open Sat/Sun 1-3!
