Listed for $571,000 by Irongate Inc. Realtors, the brick house at 8283 Wellbaum Road has about 4,330 square feet of living space, including the lower level. Built in 2000, the home has had some renovations with the most recent being the water heater in 2022, the furnace and water softener in 2019.

A dual peninsula counter divides the kitchen from the great room. The counters have been refinished into a beautiful faux marble design that complements the painted white cabinetry. The galley-style kitchen has a triangular bump-out for easy access to the range and refrigerator. There is a coffee station and additional counter space near the double sink. A small pantry closet is off the breakfast room and linen storage is just off the dining room, which is accessible from the kitchen.
