This is one of those homes where the photos only tell part of the story. Behind the classic brick exterior is a surprisingly spacious and versatile floor plan with rooms that just keep going. With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, there is room to spread out, work, entertain, and make the layout your own. One of the biggest advantages is the flexibility. A main-level bedroom features its own ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while upstairs, the private primary suite includes an ensuite bath and two separate walk-in closets. The home offers four walk-in closets, a walk-in pantry, and plenty of additional storage. Beyond the bedrooms, you'll find a dedicated office and multiple flex spaces that can adapt to the way you live, whether you need a fitness room, game room, hobby space, second living area, or something entirely your own. Even one bathroom offers something unexpected: four sinks. Thoughtful updates give the home a fresh, updated feel, while details like the brick fireplace, built-ins, French doors, and generous room sizes add the character you don't always find in a renovated home. Outside, the large backyard and extensive covered outdoor space give you even more room to enjoy. If you've been looking for a home with more space, more storage, and more possibilities than a set of photos can show, this one deserves a closer look. Agent/Owner
