Offering approximately 2,740 square feet, this impressive 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath two-story delivers the space, finishes, and flexibility today's buyers are looking for-plus a $5,000 seller credit and immediate or quick-close availability. The open-concept main level features high-quality wide-plank engineered wood flooring, LED lighting, and a sought-after first-floor primary suite with private en-suite bath. The kitchen stands out with quartz countertops, 42-inch solid shaker-style soft-close cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and ceramic flooring in wet areas.
