Unlock the door to this Thornton treasure! Enter this stunning 2-story and immediately feel the warmth of the gleaming laminate wood floors and the charm of the plantation shutters on the bay windows of the living room, which flows into the spacious formal dining room. The trendy white kitchen is conveniently located next to the dining room and sports pull-outs in all the lower cabinets, which are topped with a beautiful granite. The split oven and gas range are a chef's dream, and there's even a slick stainless-steel island-perfect for whipping up feasts or staging food for the BBQ. Entertain in style on the large stamped concrete patio, or lounge with a beverage and a good book, surrounded by a landscaped backyard that's your own little oasis. Back inside, the kitchen is wide open to the family room, with a breakfast bar in between. The gas fireplace creates a cozy area for winding down and watching a good show. Upstairs, luxuriate in the large primary bedroom with gorgeous updated en-suite 5-piece bath and walk-in closet, both overlooking the back yard. There are two additional bedrooms AND an office upstairs, as well as another beautifully updated full bath. If that's not enough, enjoy the basement fun zone complete with wet bar with fridge in the game room, additional chill space with built-ins, and large storage/utility room with shelving make this home a versatile gem. While you're down there, don't miss the carpeted crawl space! Additional fresh updates add more shine to this gem: new roof (July '24), new exterior paint ('23), and new A/C ('21).
