Original hardwood floors run throughout the main level, where a vaulted, skylit living room features a wood-burning fireplace and access to a wraparound Trex deck with a recessed hot tub. The updated kitchen pairs solid surface counters and full-height subway tile backsplash with premium stainless appliances, a downdraft range, a butcher block bar, and a generous pantry. A sun-filled dining area opens to the deck, while a mudroom nook, powder room, and office/4th bedroom round out the main floor. Upstairs, two bedrooms with park views and a loft share a full bath. The spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet and updated bath with quartz double vanity and frameless glass ceramic tile shower. Located within the preference zone for Highland Magnet School (ranked 3rd in the state by U.S. News), offering preferred placement without the district lottery. Downtown is just 5 minutes away.
