Enter the home and you’ll notice the beautiful hardwood floors that were added and/or refinished by the current owners. Large and brightly lit living and dining rooms grace the foyer which leads to a comfortable family room with warm bookcases and wood burning fireplace. The flow is amazing as the family room opens to the kitchen, the screen porch and new deck! These owners updated the Giorgi designed kitchen with a new island, quartz counters and updated backsplash. They added a new Wolf gas cooktop, beverage fridge, free standing ice maker, and GE refrigerator. These appliances combined with the in wall double ovens and a drawer microwave are a chef’s dream! With a “see through†wet bar between the kitchen and dining and easy access to the deck you can easily entertain a crowd.

The two car garage accesses the home through a laundry/mud room. In addition to adding beautiful hardwood floors, updating the kitchen, adding new lighting in much of the home, we’ve saved the best updates for last! Loving outdoor living, the owners updated the screen porch with heated, tiled floors! And built an entirely NEW custom deck, large enough for tables for 6-12 guests, custom black and stainless steel railings, custom lighting and a bar with granite top and seating for 3-4 people to enjoy a quiet beverage and enjoy the peace of the private back yard.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
