About this home

This stunning and spacious home has been redesigned and rebuilt with an added 1311 square feet. All new electrical, plumbing, heating, water and sewer main lines, siding, roof, insulation, windows, doors, floors, French drainage, and landscaping, essentially a new home! The lower level was converted to a 4th bedroom with a private entrance, full bath, private laundry designed for a rental unit or home office, and setup to add small kitchen. The driveway was expanded for additional parking. The owner combined two separate lots to provide ample outside living, featuring an oversized wrap around deck and yard for entertaining and gardening. Award winning design features went into home, from barn doors, vaulted ceilings and open and airy floor plan, to the gourmet kitchen and dramatic spa shower with soaking tub. Gourmet kitchen features farm sink, Carrara quartz waterfall-island with gas cooktop breakfast bar and large kitchen eating area. Near trails, shops, parks & buses.
