This home is a perfect combination of modern sophistication and laid-back living. 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 full baths, soaring cathedral ceilings, cherry hardwood floors and tons of updates await you in this charming ranch home. The open-concept kitchen with granite counters, white cabinets and cozy breakfast nook flows effortlessly into the chic great room with beautiful windows and a gas burning fireplace. With 3 large bedrooms and 2 full baths on the main level, this is the ideal one-story layout. The finished lower level basically doubles your living space with a large rec/family room, a wet bar and another full bathroom. The 2 spacious bedrooms have walk-in closets with custom built-ins and egress windows. These rooms could easily serve as an office, gym, playroom or craft room if you don’t need the extra sleeping quarters. Outside, relax on the newer custom-built Trex deck (2021) with lighted railings, built-in benches and flower boxes. Or enjoy a cozy bonfire on the custom stamped concrete patio (2021). A new roof with GAF Timberline HDZ lifetime warranty shingles, gutters, gutter guards and downspouts were all added to the home in 2023. The shed also has a new roof with the same shingles and plenty of storage. In addition, siding was replaced on the east side exterior wall, 7 inches of insulation has been added to the attic, and an invisible fence has been installed.
Located just minutes from the Howell Nature Center in desirable South Oaks subdivision on almost a 3/4 acre, this lovely ranch is just waiting to be yours. Check out the virtual tour for an online walk-through. Seller needs occupancy through April 5th.
