Property Description
Inside, 1,455 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space unfolds with warmth and style. The vaulted family room is the heart of the home, where a striking wood-burning fireplace and sun-filled bay window create an atmosphere that's both cozy and open--perfectly defining the living and dining spaces while keeping them connected.
The kitchen shines with granite countertops and a newly installed luxury vinyl tile floor, while updated bathrooms--featuring a new primary vanity--bring a fresh, modern touch. Throughout the home, you'll find durable and attractive bamboo and tile flooring--no carpet anywhere--along with multiple ceiling fans to keep the air moving comfortably year-round. Replacement Pella windows and added storm doors enhance both efficiency and peace of mind.
Step outside to the generous screened porch, where a lighted ceiling fan keeps things cool as you overlook the tranquil woods--your own ''nature-powered air conditioning.'' It's the perfect place for morning coffee, evening unwinding, or simply listening to the sounds of nature. Open the double doors to the deck for enlarged entertainment space when guests drop by.
Practical features abound: a spacious 2.5-car garage with 220 wiring, a storage shed, encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier, and a permitted HVAC system installed in August 2025. The roof, replaced in 2011 with a 25-year shingle, adds further confidence.
Located in the welcoming Penrith community--known for its wide streets and dog-friendly vibe--you're just minutes from I-40, shopping, universities, and top medical facilities.
This is more than a home--it's a peaceful, practical, and beautifully maintained retreat in a location that keeps you connected to everything that matters.
