This centrally located home is perfectly positioned on a beautifully landscaped, mature lot that backs directly to Brookview School. A welcoming covered front porch invites you into the spacious foyer with skylight, which flows into the cozy family room featuring a brick surround fireplace, built-in shelving, and a slider to a wonderful screened porch. The family room opens to the large eat-in kitchen with a skylight, tile floors, generous cabinet and counter space, and plenty of room for cooking and gathering. Just off the kitchen is a formal dining room filled with natural light, which connects seamlessly to a spacious living room, ideal for entertaining. The primary suite offers double closets and a full bath with a shower. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and another full bath with a tub provide plenty of space for family or guests. The lower level includes the laundry area and ample storage space, while the attached 2-car garage completes this charming home!
