Property Description

There's something special about finding a newer home in one of Buckley's most cherished historic neighborhoods. Built in 2017, this thoughtfully designed residence offers modern comfort with the warmth and charm of a classic small-town setting-all just a short walk from downtown boutiques, local restaurants, parks, schools, and beloved community events. An inviting covered front porch sets the tone, welcoming you into a light-filled interior where a striking stacked-stone fireplace creates the perfect gathering space. The open-concept design flows effortlessly into a stylish kitchen featuring quartz countertops, while granite-appointed bathrooms add a touch of timeless elegance. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers endless possibilities for gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing in your own private retreat. A poured concrete driveway and attached two-car garage provide convenience and curb appeal. Opportunities to own a newer, move-in ready home at this price point in such a walkable, established neighborhood are increasingly rare. Offering exceptional value, quality craftsmanship, and the charm of downtown Buckley just outside your door, this is more than a home-it's a lifestyle.
