Your classic kitchen is nestled between a formal dining room and a breakfast nook with bay window, with sight lines into the cozy back-of-house family room that opens onto a massive full-length deck with multiple stairways for access to the stunning backyard. Densely treed views are the star as you look out of every single window of this home--not a disappointing view to be found! Kitchen enhancements include solid wood cabinetry, updated black stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. All three bathrooms have been aesthetically updated with granite as well, and also feature newer plumbing/lighting fixtures and worry-free LVP flooring. You'll also enjoy updated flooring in all bedrooms and the majority of the main level, bright and efficient LED lighting fixtures, and a classic brick fireplace/hearth newly equipped with a n efficient woodburning stove insert, complementing the central HVAC system and giving you ample options for home heating year-round.  A long paved driveway with two turnaround areas provides ample parking for guests, and the two car garage has a brand new overhead bay door, convenient side door, and access to attic storage (via pull-down stairs). More outdoor features include multiple mature landscaping/beds, pea gravel bed with edging immediately under the deck, huge mature ostrich plume fern patch, established koi pond area, and an accessory pavilion with separate equipment storage section that would make a lovely playhouse or an additional entertaining area. Even better? No HOA to contend with, no elevated municipal taxes, and no water or sewer bills (private well and septic). It's the total package--timeless design, elevated turnkey updates,  and perfectly enveloped in nature, and it is ready for the next owner to make it their personal retreat.
