In the family room, a large Andersen sliding door opens to a spacious raised brick patio with custom railings, creating a wonderful outdoor living space for relaxing, entertaining, or gathering with family and friends. The primary suite features brand-new carpeting, a private en-suite bath, and a built-in dressing and makeup area. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the interior. Outside, you'll also find a covered carport and the kind of solid construction and careful upkeep that reflect decades of pride of ownership. The roof was replaced in 2023, and the crawlspace has been encapsulated with a dehumidifier installed for added peace of mind. Vinyl windows also provide low maintenance and energy efficiency.
