About this home

Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has the kind of setting that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. Imagine morning coffee with a view, evenings by the fireplace, and weekends spent enjoying your sunroom, or hanging out back by the water! Inside, modern flooring gives the home a fresh, updated feel, while the flexible layout offers something extra hard to find — a dedicated office space with its own water view. Work from home without feeling like you're working from home! The primary bedroom brings even more to love with his and hers closets, while the additional bedrooms offer plenty of room for guests, hobbies, or whatever life looks like for you. New roof, new HVAC, and water heater is only 2015. But the real star? The setting. Quiet. Private. Peaceful. And just enough water view to remind you that home can feel like a getaway. Come see it for yourself — this one isn't trying to be like every other house on the market, and that's exactly the point. We hope you love the home!
