***LIMITED TIME*** Up to $10,000 in Concessions when you use the preferred Lender and Closing Attorney. With its stunning blue exterior and undeniable cottage charm, this home feels special before you ever step inside. A long driveway creates a beautiful approach and leads seamlessly to the side-load garage, allowing the home's inviting exterior to remain the star of the show. Inside, the thoughtfully designed layout offers just enough space in all the right places. The wide-open floor plan feels airy and connected, while three main-floor bedrooms and an upstairs bonus room provide flexibility without adding rooms you may never use. Beautiful wainscoting, custom trim work, and quality craftsmanship bring warmth and character throughout, proving that a smaller footprint never has to mean sacrificing style. Outside, the private wooded backyard continues the cottage-like feel, creating a peaceful setting to relax, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Efficient, inviting, and full of personality, this is the kind of home that stands apart from the crowd and feels right from the moment you arrive.
