This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits on nearly half an acre and checks all the boxes. Out back, you'll find a fully fenced yard and a back deck that's partly screened-in and partly open — perfect for hosting or relaxing on a quiet evening. Inside, the main floor features beautiful hardwood floors and a smart, spacious layout.

To the left, French doors lead into a formal dining room with a statement chandelier. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, including double ovens, a gas range, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and fridge. There's plenty of cabinetry, a pantry for extra storage, and a cozy breakfast area that overlooks the backyard. The family room/den features a classic brick fireplace, making it a great hangout spot year-round. Upstairs, the bedrooms have fresh carpet, and the primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and a well-appointed en suite with double vanities, garden tub, and a walk-in shower. The other three bedrooms share a full bath, and the fourth bedroom — a huge 20x17 space — offers plenty of flexibility as a bedroom, bonus room, or whatever fits your needs.
