About this House
Welcome to a charming modern farmhouse-inspired home that feels like it was pulled straight from a design magazine! This beautifully updated white home offers incredible curb appeal with lush hydrangeas, a classic split-rail style fence, and a welcoming front porch that invites you inside. The open-concept main level creates the perfect gathering space with a spacious living room, dining area, and kitchen featuring a stunning gas fireplace, updated cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, butcher block island, and a convenient walk-in pantry. The main floor laundry room adds both style and functionality with included washer and dryer, a utility sink, and direct access to the deck and backyard. A conveniently located half bathroom can be accessed from both the laundry room and main living area. The main floor primary suite provides a private retreat with a spacious bedroom, ensuite bathroom featuring double sinks, an oversized walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard. Step outside to enjoy the beautifully landscaped and fully fenced yard, complete with a dining patio, established raspberry bushes, and a new vinyl privacy fence installed in 2025. A walkway leads to the detached two-car garage with alley access and additional parking space. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom with charming details including built-in bench seating, multiple closets, and extra storage space.
