Inside you'll discover a warm, naturally lit and dramatic entry with fresh tile flooring, stained glass for privacy and a large living room with a stunning two-story vaulted ceiling.

The open, full daylight lower level is spacious and fully finished with a second family room and large fourth bedroom, a third full bath, storage room, a hidden storage or play area, plus laundry and easy mudroom access to the oversized two-car garage. This garage is great because it has a storage area for your toys or tools. Many possibilities exist for those seeking versatility and quality.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
