This is it! Proudly offered for the first time in 27 years, this beautifully maintained 5-bedroom expanded ranch has so much to offer. Located in the desirable Norseville neighborhood of Franklin Township known for its scenic parks, wooded trails, canal paths, and easy access to hiking, kayaking, and golf this home is a true retreat. Hardwood floors and skylights bring warmth and natural light throughout, with garden views from nearly every window. The updated chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances and flows seamlessly into the open-concept living and dining areas. The primary bedroom includes an en suite bath with a jacuzzi tub, two walk-in closets, and access to a private deck that overlooks a serene wooded area. A flexible layout also offers a private 5th bedroom ideal as a guest suite, office, or studio just off the great room with a cozy fireplace and backyard views. The landscaped backyard is a true showstopper, featuring a heated in-ground pool with woodburning heater, private shower, built-in smoker/BBQ area, various seasonal flowers & fruit trees, and multiple pergolas that create the perfect setting for shaded entertaining.
