The main level also offers a formal dining room, private office, flexible living space, hardwood flooring, a dramatic two-story foyer, and extensive crown molding and chair rail detailing throughout. Upstairs, all four bedrooms have been freshly painted and fitted with new carpet. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a large walk-in closet featuring a custom organization system and a luxurious bath offering a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Both full bathrooms feature double vanities, providing convenience and functionality for busy households. The recently finished lower level adds tremendous flexibility with new LVP flooring, recessed lighting, French doors leading to the side yard, a rough-in for a future bathroom, and an excellent balance of finished living space and unfinished storage.

Outside, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're planning for a growing household, multigenerational living, or simply desire more room to spread out, this home delivers exceptional space and versatility. The fully fenced acreage provides room for horses, chickens, gardens, recreational pursuits, or simply enjoying the privacy and open space. Additional outdoor amenities include a paver patio, fire pit, chicken coop, and asphalt driveway.

The current owners' favorite feature remains the spectacular South Mountain views enjoyed from the front porch year-round.
