This home hands you back your Saturdays. No mower to push, no walk to shovel, no yard waiting on you at seven in the morning. What you get instead is a home that lives open and easy. A living room that flows into the dining area, a kitchen with high end appliances, and a powder bath tucked away for guests. The laundry room is on the main level too, off the main living space rather than down in a basement corner. All three bedrooms are upstairs. The primary bedroom has a full ensuite bath, all yours. Two more bedrooms share a second full bath down the hall, and they flex into an office, a guest room, or a workout space depending on your needs. The two-car attached garage loads from the alley, with more parking out front. Out back, a fenced yard that's yours to enjoy. The cherry on top? Somerset Village covers the front yard care and snow removal right up to your step. Green space, playground and pool included!
