The Home

The kind of house that makes you want to stay home.

Three things sell this house, and none of them are hard to explain.

One: the effective year built is 2006. The original 1957 foundation stayed; everything above it came down and went back up. So you get the mature trees and settled streets of an established neighborhood, with a house that isn't seventy years old. Gas hot air, central air, public water and sewer — nothing to convert, nothing to inherit.

Two: the primary suite is on the first floor. Fourteen by eleven, built-ins, walk-in closet, private full bath. That's the search filter buyers set and then give up on. You can live on one level whenever you want to and still have a four-bedroom house behind you.

Three: the backyard is finished. Wood-fenced, professionally landscaped, with a paver patio, stone retaining walls, a fire pit and a full river-stone outdoor fireplace already built. Not a yard with potential. A yard that's done.

Everything else is the good kind of ordinary: a family room with sliders to that patio, a kitchen with Corian counters open to the dining room, three more bedrooms and an office upstairs, and 700 finished square feet on the lower level.

What Stands Out

Details worth the second walk-through.

First-floor primary suite

Rare in this price range: 14 x 11 with built-ins, a walk-in closet, and a private full bath. One-level living whenever you want it.

700 sq ft finished below

A 25 x 22 rec room on the lower level — media room, home gym, playroom, or all three depending on the season.

Effective year built: 2006

Only the 1957 foundation remained. Everything above it is twenty years old, not seventy — in a neighborhood that's had decades to grow in.

Dedicated office upstairs

A real room with a door, not a corner of a bedroom — plus three more bedrooms on the same level.

Family room off the patio

Hardwood, ceiling fan, and sliders that erase the line between inside and out.

A backyard that's finished

Fenced and landscaped, with a paver patio, fire pit and stone outdoor fireplace already in. Nothing left to budget for.

Outside

The backyard is the second living room.

A quarter acre, wood-fenced and professionally landscaped. The paver patio is already built out with stone retaining walls, a fire pit, and a full river-stone outdoor fireplace. There's a shed, and the grill already has its spot.
