Coming home has never been easier - just tap your opener as you pull into the small community and pull right into your 1 car garage. It’s large enough to hold all your things from the extra included fridge to trash cans and bicycles. Enter into your spacious foyer and drop your worries at the door- you are Home! The lower level feeds into an enormous recreation room with the luxury vinyl plank flooring spanning from front door to the back door which opens into a private fenced area underneath your rear deck. There is a decorative fireplace and full closet for game storage or holiday decor. Heading upstairs you’ll pass the mechanical room and laundry area as well as a designer main level powder room. You could practically live down here full time! Guests will love the convenient extra parking directly across from your front door. Greet them from your covered front porch area and drop their coats and shoes in the spacious foyer. Upon reaching the main level they’ll find a delightful living and dining room area with another decorative fireplace.

Storage is abundant with 2 full walls of cabinetry, a built-in pantry, and a custom built oversized island with seating, so guests can pull up a stool and be part of the conversation. There is also a built in desk workstation when you want to catch up on life, or when you move in make it a stunning coffee bar. The counters are a shining granite that ties in beautifully with the stainless steel appliances and brushed nickel drawer hardware.
