**More than meets the eye, with a backyard that's ready for fun!** This charming home offers a surprisingly spacious feel, with a layout that makes excellent use of every square foot. The main level features the kitchen, living room, and dining area, while all three bedrooms and the full bathroom are tucked upstairs for a comfortable separation of living and sleeping spaces. Need more room? The partially finished, heated and cooled basement adds valuable flexibility and includes a full bathroom. Because the ceiling height is less than 7 feet, this space is not included in the home's heated living area, but it offers plenty of room for a recreation area, home office, gym, hobby space, or additional storage. The washer and dryer and a second refrigerator are also located downstairs and convey with the home. The backyard is where this home really comes to life. A gravel patio with pergola creates the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxing, while the fireplace, hot tub, and huge above-ground pool make this a backyard built for entertaining, summer afternoons, and gatherings with friends and family. All appliances convey, along with the washer and dryer and additional basement refrigerator. Even better, the sellers are willing to leave the home **fully furnished**, with only a few sentimental pieces being removed. For the right buyer, that means the opportunity to move in with little more than a suitcase. With its flexible living spaces, entertaining-friendly backyard, and furnished option, this home could be a great fit for a primary residence, second home, or investment property with potential for short-term rental use, subject to applicable rules and regulations. If you're looking for a home that lives larger than its numbers suggest and offers a little something extra around every corner, this one is worth seeing in person.
