Fresh green grass walking up, sleek black and white facade with serious curb appeal. Quartz countertops and luxury vinyl plank flooring carry a soft, consistent warmth from room to room, while the kitchen's navy tile and brass fixtures add just the right touch of polish. Even the essentials have been quietly taken care of, with a new roof and new A/C in place, so there's nothing left to do but move in. Three bedrooms and two beautifully finished bathrooms complete the home. Just beyond the main house, a detached bonus room with its own fireplace offers a gentle escape, an office, a studio, a place to simply be. And outside, mature trees cast a soft canopy over a low-maintenance backyard that feels less like a yard and more like a private garden.
