An irrigation system ensures the lawn and gardens remain vibrant with minimal effort. Inside, the gourmet kitchen is a true standout, featuring a 5-burner gas stove, stainless steel appliances, crisp white soft-close cabinetry with crown trim, pull-out drawers, a pantry, and a classic subway tile backsplash. The breakfast bar is illuminated by lovely pendants, perfect for casual meals, while a separate dining room with crown molding offers an elegant setting for special gatherings. The spacious dining area and living room are enhanced by a soaring cathedral ceiling and a cozy gas fireplace, creating an open and inviting space. Glass sliding doors lead to a screened porch and a generous deck—ideal for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. The private primary suite includes two closets (one walk-in) and a well-appointed ensuite bath with a granite-topped dual sink vanity, soft-close cabinetry, a stall shower with frameless glass door, and bench seating. Two additional bedrooms are located at the front of the home along with a full bath featuring a quartz vanity—perfect for guests or family. A convenient laundry room with upper cabinetry connects directly to the garage. Outside, a storage shed offers additional space for tools and lawn equipment.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
