About this home
NEWLY REFRESHED!!!! Welcome to this cozy single-level home in the sought-after Tralee neighborhood, nestled between Smithfield and Clayton and just minutes from everything. Only six years old with one owner, this well-maintained three-bedroom, two-bath home offers more than 1,600 square feet of living space and has been recently refreshed throughout. The seller is also offering a $3,000 credit at closing. Park in the oversized two-car garage with plenty of storage, then step into the mudroom, where you can hang up your hat, drop your coat and bag, and tuck your shoes under the bench. The laundry room is right there, so muddy things can go straight into the wash before you ever reach the kitchen. The kitchen features new low-maintenance quartz countertops, loads of storage and modern appliances. The informal dining area has room for a full-sized table plus seating at the counter, and it flows right into the large living room with a gas fireplace and built-in shelves. High ceilings and a ceiling fan keep everything cool and bright, and the open floor plan keeps everyone connected. The spacious primary suite sits at the back of the home with two walk-in closets and a private bathroom featuring dual sinks, a soaking tub, a separate shower, and a private water closet, so there are no traffic jams getting ready in the morning. Two additional generously sized bedrooms offer great storage and share the second full bathroom with a tub and shower combination, making them well suited for guests or a home office. The fully fenced backyard has a large patio for entertaining and is already set up for a hot tub. The covered back porch includes a light and ceiling fan for early-morning coffee or late evening reading or gather around your fire pit on the oversized private patio to enjoy your favorite people and your favorite beverage. An 8x12 barn/shed has plenty of room for lawn equipment and extra storage. The home is a short peaceful walk to the community pool, gym, ponds for fishing or open fields for football or soccer. You have found home. WELCOME HOME!
