With a limited HOA and ample outdoor space, the private backyard is perfect for entertaining—featuring room for an above-ground pool, RV parking, and more. Enjoy the outdoors from the 14x18 composite deck, complete with an 18-foot motorized SunSetter awning for shaded relaxation. Additional exterior highlights include a large shed, an oversized asphalt driveway, and a one-car garage with a new insulated door, opener, and freshly epoxyed flooring. Inside, the home boasts freshly painted neutral décor and updated vinyl flooring that create a modern, welcoming ambiance. The open-concept living and dining areas have been thoughtfully expanded by removing a dividing wall, adding space and flow to a cozy fireplace with mounted TV, chair rail accents, and tasteful finishes throughout. The kitchen features honey maple cabinetry, custom Corian countertops with a recessed sink, a Bosch dishwasher, convection oven, under-cabinet lighting, and custom pantry shelving. A main-level laundry room adds convenience with a washer, dryer, and large utility sink. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, each with ceiling fans for added comfort. The walk-out basement includes a finished recreation room and abundant unfinished storage, as well as access to full attic storage. Recent major updates include a new 30-year architectural roof (2015), heater (2014), AC and humidifier (2007), a 200-amp electrical panel, wiring for a standby generator, a 30A exterior outlet, updated lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, and enhanced insulation in both the attic and basement ceiling.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
