Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tired of gray houses? Good. Because this one has a personality. This house is anything but cookie-cutter, with details that make you stop and say, “WAIT! I love that!” And this isn’t personality covering up an untouched 1961 house. Since 2021, nearly every part of this home has seen some kind of update. Let’s start in the kitchen, because we know that’s where everybody ends up anyway. There’s an oversized island, stainless appliances, plenty of cabinetry and YES, that’s a GAS range. Real flame. There’s even a pot filler above it. And those cement countertops? WHAT?! I know, right? Definitely not something you see every day. Add that warm cedar floating shelf and this kitchen has a personality all its own. Do you love to sleep cold? The home already has central heat and air, but the primary bedroom has its own mini-split too, giving you extra temperature control. Add French doors leading outside, a closet with a vibe of its own and a private half bath with an electronic bidet seat and wall-mounted controller. Yep. Even the toilet got an upgrade. The full bathroom? Definitely not tiny. You get a long double vanity, two sinks, two mirrors, plenty of counter space and a tub/shower combination, with fully tiled walls adding even more character. And that garage doesn’t have to be JUST a garage. Its own mini-split makes it a more comfortable, flexible space for parking, projects, hobbies or workouts. The separate utility/laundry room just off the garage benefits from it too, and the washer and dryer stay. But here’s where this house really starts showing off: an OVER 500-SQUARE-FOOT SCREENED PORCH. Morning coffee, dinner outside, game days, rainy afternoons...you get the idea. Then step into the BIG fenced backyard with mature trees, a mix of vinyl and open wood fencing, plenty of room to spread out and no rear neighbor directly behind the home. And the practical stuff? Roof replaced in 2019, appliances from 2022, tankless water heater, wood-look tile throughout the main home and double-pane replacement windows throughout most of the home. So no, this isn’t another gray, cookie-cutter house. And that’s kind of the whole point. Just don’t blame us if that over 500-square-foot screened porch ruins normal-sized porches for you afterward.
