Painted white brick, blue shutters, and a pair of blue front doors give this five-bedroom, three-bath two-story a fresh, happy first impression, and the inside keeps that energy going. Light wood-look floors run through sunny rooms, and the living room gathers around a painted brick fireplace with a crisp white mantel. Then there's the kitchen. Blue cabinetry with brass pulls meets warm butcher-block counters, and a white-topped island with seating sits under a trio of glass globe pendants. Handmade-look tile climbs an arched alcove behind the new Samsung gas range, a brass gooseneck faucet adds sparkle, and Viking appliances, including the refrigerator and a new Viking dishwasher, give the room real cooking credentials. Steps away, a breakfast nook wrapped in windows has a built-in bench made for slow Saturday mornings and a view of the trees. The primary suite has a sliding barn door to its bath and a walk-in closet lined with custom shelving and hanging space. The bath pairs a walk-in shower, brass rain head, and handheld wand with a wood-tone vanity and a backlit mirror. The other baths have plenty of personality too: one in deep blue vertical tile with a recessed niche and brass sconces, another with a rain shower and a warm wood-slat accent wall. Ceiling fans keep the bedrooms comfortable, and the laundry room doubles as a drop zone with built-in lockers for shoes, bags, and backpacks. Out back, a wide deck overlooks a deep, wooded backyard, and the two-car garage leaves room for cars, bikes, and storage. The roof, windows, HVAC, and water heater are all brand new, and there's no HOA. Come see that kitchen for yourself!
