The living and dining areas are filled with natural light and open to a sunroom, which leads to a back deck with glass railings overlooking the ponds. The finished walkout basement extends the living space with in-law potential, a cozy gas fireplace in the rec room, a fourth bedroom, a two-piece bath, and a spacious laundry room with excellent storage. Updated throughout with fresh paint, this carpet-free home features hardwood flooring along with an instantaneous hot water heater, a natural gas furnace, and a UV system for reliable and efficient home comfort. This #HomeToStay is a rare find offering privacy and natural beauty, all without leaving the city.
