Sliders off the dining room lead to an upper deck with awning and stairs to the private lower patio, both with piped in natural gas. A beautiful setting for outdoor entertaining with quiet woods all around. A gently sloping side lawn is ideal for planting an orchard or vegetable garden. The large fenced area to the rear is ideal for dog owners. There is an underground sprinkler system throughout the yard, a raised bed for vegetables and a shed. The first floor primary bedroom boasts a gorgeous newly updated bathroom with tiled shower, new wooden flooring, a large walk-in closet and sitting area. Upstairs the two generous sized bedrooms share a full bath. A large walk in closet off the hallway could double as a home office or homework station.
