Tucked among peaceful surroundings, 17 Gardner Ave pairs an easy, open layout with distinctive details you'll love coming home to! Step inside & the bright main level immediately draws you in, with the living room, dining area & kitchen flowing naturally from one space to the next. Hardwood floors, a large picture window & a fireplace create a warm, inviting living room, while the kitchen makes a statement with white cabinetry, granite countertops, dark wood-look tile & a center island. Continue to the primary bedroom, where vaulted ceilings & abundant natural light create an airy retreat. The floor-to-ceiling exposed stone feature adds a beautiful touch of character, while hardwood floors, recessed lighting & a ceiling fan bring comfort to the space. Sliding glass doors open onto a private deck, complemented by a walk-in closet & en-suite bath with double vanity. Three additional bedrooms, another full bath & a convenient mudroom add everyday flexibility, while the basement offers room to finish to your liking. Outside, the fenced-in yard is a standout feature for those with children or furry friends, while the wood deck & gravel patio create inviting spots to relax against a peaceful natural backdrop. Major updates, including the 2019 roof & windows, newer boiler, approximately 2-year-old driveway & 2022 water heater, add peace of mind.
