If you have been waiting for a way into North Creek Farms, one of the area's most welcoming and well established neighborhoods, this is it.nnTucked toward the back on a quiet street, the home draws you in before you even get to the door. A covered front porch shaded by a large tree sets the tone. Inside, the front room is large enough to be a formal dining room on its own, or split naturally into a sitting area and dining space without feeling forced. Freshly refinished hardwood floors carry you back through the kitchen, and then open to a living room on your right. The back of the home opens up completely, vaulted ceilings, light pouring in, airy in a way that exceeds the price point. Sliding glass doors pull you out to a covered pergola, large deck, flagstone patio, and mature trees that give the yard real privacy. The gas grill stays. Evenings out here are easy.nnAn open staircase connects the main floor to the upper level, where all three bedrooms are together. The primary has its own bath and walk in closet. Room to decompress. The other two bedrooms, currently personalized with removable murals share a bathroom at the end of the hall. Down a half flight off the main level, the lower level surprises in a good way. Above grade, full of light, large enough to be a real room. Not a dark basement. A third living space that becomes whatever you need it to be and changes as life does. A dedicated laundry room sits just off it, tucked away where it belongs. nnTrails and open sp
