You will be totally amazed at the amount of abundant cabinetry with pullout drawers providing exceptional storage, complemented by gorgeous new quartz countertops, a newly installed gas cooktop in the center island, new commercial-grade faucet, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless-steel appliances. You'll enjoy exercising your culinary talents while preparing gourmet meals for family and friends. Sliding patio glass doors from both the kitchen and sunroom) lead to an expansive wraparound deck overlooking your private backyard retreat. Enjoy morning coffee while watching the sunrise or relax in the evening as the occasional deer emerge from the wooded area beyond the property. The deck also includes a Napoleon gas grill connected directly to a gas line, so you'll never have to carry or refill those bulky propane tanks ever again! Upstairs you'll find three generously sized bedrooms plus your private primary suite sanctuary featuring a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and beautifully appointed en-suite with double sink vanity, oversized whirlpool tub, separate shower, and a skylight with an electric retractable blind. Need more space?
