The home was thoughtfully and tastefully redesigned since 2015, and no expense was spared. Some of the upgrades include the elegant hardwood flooring throughout, Hunter Douglas window treatments, crown molding and baseboards, and pot lights.

Along the back of the house in this main living area is a wall of windows that provide stunning views of nature. It includes a walkout to an expansive deck, which offers lots of room to lounge, BBQ and dine outdoors. The very private yard has several mature trees and ample shade.

The large primary suite has his-and-hers closets and sits next to a refreshed 3-piece bathroom with a glass shower. A second main floor bedroom is perfect for overnight guests but could also be used as a home office, library or craft room. There is also a well-outfitted main floor laundry room on this level.

The bright basement includes a finished rec room with a gas fireplace, a 3-piece bathroom, additional storage and a workshop space.

“This home has been extensively renovated and with new flooring, cabinetry and windows, plus many walls removed, this home is now bright, airy and inviting—perfect for entertaining large groups and family. The double garage affords additional storage for cars or a hobbyist’s workshop and the exterior facade, landscaping and yard are sure to captivate a buyer from their first glance,” says listing agent Tyson Hinschberger.

Situated in the Village by the Arboretum, a gated adult lifestyle community that is exclusive to residents 55 years of age and older, this single-family home also happens to come with access to some gorgeous shared facilities:
