Welcome to this charming and thoughtfully updated traditional townhome, featuring a welcoming front porch and an inviting layout that blends comfort and functionality. Step inside to find a bright breakfast nook just off the entry, with a clear view into the spacious kitchen, equipped with light wood cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, a double sink, and durable ceramic tile flooring. The kitchen opens to a formal dining room adorned with crown molding, chair rail, and gleaming hardwood floors that continue into the living area. The living room offers a warm and airy ambiance with vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and a cozy gas fireplace, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Tucked privately at the rear of the home, the first-floor primary suite features a generous walk-in closet and an en suite bath with a tiled shower, soaking tub, and dual vanity. Upstairs, a large loft-style family room provides an ideal space for movie nights, game time, or a home office. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a full hall bath with a tile surround complete the upper level. Enjoy breezy afternoons in the screened-in porch, an ideal spot to unwind bug-free. The home also includes a full, unfinished basement with a walk-out exit and rough-in plumbing, ready for your customization. Recent updates enhance the home's comfort and value, including a completely new Trane HVAC split unit with updated ductwork and a second-floor thermostat, fresh interior paint throughout, and new installations such as the garbage disposal, refrigerator, dryer, sump pump, ceiling fans, and lighting. The fireplace has also been newly converted to natural gas, adding both efficiency and convenience. Residents of this community enjoy access to a beautifully maintained inground pool, making this home the perfect blend of everyday comfort and community living.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
