Property Description

This 3-bedroom, 2-full bath red brick ranch located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Rock Creek, known for its canopy of old oak trees, is in move-in condition as it has hardly been used since the current owner made significant improvements including a $60K upgrade to the home and landscaping.
The eat-in kitchen, renovated in 2018 with state-of-the-art energy efficient appliances, recessed lighting and custom “to-the-ceiling” cabinetry including numerous handy built-ins and solid surface countertops makes preparing meals easy.
The large kitchen windows, replaced with triple-pane windows shortly before this for energy savings, overlook the gorgeous backyard flowers.
The renovation also included the laundry room with multiple large storage cabinets, as well as new floors in the dining/living room, and entrance and bedroom hallways.
Three added solar tubes bring filtered natural light into the living room, hallway, and front bathroom.
The spacious living room with open dining area features a gas fireplace that is easily operated with a switch providing an inviting and warm atmosphere during cool weather.
The living room sliding door opens to a charming concrete patio and private backyard for outdoor entertaining surrounded by flowering gardens that attract colorful butterflies and birds.
Tall cedars in the back garden provide privacy and a lush green backdrop to numerous perennials including a mock orange, hydrangea, and an oak-leaf hydrangea.
Cheery knockout roses greet you at the front porch along with a Japanese Maple tree and lilac bush.
Storage abounds in this one-level home.
The primary bedroom is complete with a large walk-in closet and in-suite full bathroom with a deep linen closet.
The other two bedrooms also have two large closets in each room.
The wide entrance hall offers another large walk-in closet for additional storage.
The large 2-car garage with space for a workshop or craft center and additional floored storage space in the attic has a remote opener as well as keypad entry.
