Let’s not sugarcoat it—this place is a total standout. Owned and cared for by the original sellers since day one, this 4-bedroom colonial is in flawless condition. Every inch of it has been maintained with serious pride—you won’t find a squeak, a draft, or a corner that hasn’t been looked after. Along the way, the home has seen a series of thoughtful updates both inside and out, adding modern touches while preserving its exceptional condition. Set in a quiet neighborhood on one of the best lots in the development, the back of the home faces a lightly wooded area and even offers peek-through views of Centennial Golf Course. In the warmer months, the mature landscaping creates a private backyard oasis—perfect for entertaining or winding down on the Trex deck or stone patio below. Inside, you’ve got custom woodwork and built-ins throughout, cathedral ceilings, multiple walk-in closets, a dedicated home office or library, and a proper laundry room. The primary bath and hall bath have both been fully renovated, and the layout flows exactly how you want it to. The basement’s a blank canvas—high ceilings with a sliding glass door and egress windows, it’s ready to be finished and adds serious potential. Add in the 2-car garage, and an unbeatable location that gives you privacy and a neighborhood setting, and you’re looking at a home that doesn’t come around often. If you're waiting for a home that checks every box—this is it.
