Tucked away on nearly 4 acres set back from a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom ranch is more than just a home, it's a lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, the inviting curb appeal sets the tone, with a charming paver walkway leading to a columned front porch, the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee and soak in the peaceful surroundings. Step inside, where natural light floods the open-concept living spaces. Vaulted ceilings soar above the living, dining and kitchen areas, creating an airy, welcoming atmosphere. Enjoy hardwood floors, custom built-ins and recessed lighting, while a wood-burning fireplace in the living room promises cozy winter nights. The kitchen is designed for effortless entertaining, featuring quartz countertops, marble tile backsplash, soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a center island. A breakfast nook is ideal for casual meals and morning conversations. Step outside to the tiered mahogany deck, where you'll find seamless indoor-outdoor living; perfect for summer gatherings and quiet evenings. The third bedroom off the foyer offers flexibility as a home office, while the outdoor spaces steal the show. Mature plantings, scenic rock outcroppings, a fenced-in, heated in-ground pool with a gazebo, and a nearby babbling brook create a private oasis. Whether hosting summer BBQs at the outdoor bar or enjoying a quiet afternoon by the water, this backyard is designed for relaxation and fun. Open House Fri. 2/28 4-6 PM
