Welcome Home! This charming two-story brick and cedar home combines rustic warmth with thoughtful design. As you approach the front, a double-door entryway welcomes you from the walkway leading to a cozy, covered front porch. Step into a spacious, light-filled foyer, where handmade terracotta tiles from Mexico set the tone with their unique, purposeful imperfections-footprints, nicks, and cracks that add character and charm. These distinctive tiles flow seamlessly throughout the foyer, kitchen, dining area, laundry room, powder room, and primary bath. To the right of the foyer, an oversized living room awaits, brimming with natural light from a series of large windows. A step up from the living room leads to a dining room, the perfect size for intimate gatherings or large dinners, with terracotta flooring, and French doors opening onto a spacious paver patio in the backyard. Adjacent to the dining room, the kitchen and eating area feature a wide bay window that frames the wooded views, Silestone countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, a wine refrigerator, and a beautiful glass backsplash. The kitchen also has two handy pocket doors, offering privacy or easy flow to other spaces as needed. The adjacent family room, warmed by a gas fireplace with ceramic logs, has newer hardwood flooring and a new triple sliding door that leads to the backyard, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor connection for entertaining or relaxing. The main floor is complete with a convenient laundry room and a tastefully designed powder room. Heading upstairs, the primary suite offers a retreat with a gas fireplace and ceramic logs, a spacious walk-in closet, and a separate vanity area with the same handmade terracotta tile floors. The suite's bath includes a combined tub and shower and toilet area. There are three additional bedrooms on this level: one converted into a walk-in closet, another used as an office, and the last updated with luxurious vinyl tile (LVT) flooring. The finished basement offers a cozy space with a Murphy bed for guests and a designated game area, along with a sizable unfinished storage room and crawl space. Stepping out to the backyard, you'll find a private haven bordered by woods. The focal point here is a 22-foot round above-ground pool, partially sunk into the ground and surrounded by a wooden deck. The backyard also features a large paver patio, adjacent to a concrete patio, and a wrap-around deck that circles a majestic oak tree, creating a natural centerpiece. This deck leads from the pool area around to the driveway and the 2.5-car garage with ample storage and a side service door. With thoughtful design elements and a lush backyard oasis, this home offers both functional spaces and beautiful scenery, perfect for everyday life and entertaining.
