A Rare Gem in a Coveted Neighborhood! Homes like this don’t come up for sale often—this is your chance to own a beautifully updated split-level that’s been thoughtfully designed for comfort, style, and function. From the moment you step inside, you'll feel the warmth and care that has gone into every detail. The exquisite kitchen—completely remodeled in 2020—is a dream come true for any home chef. Every inch has been designed with purpose, featuring a dedicated coffee pod drawer, specialized storage for cookie sheets and canned goods, two pantries with pull-out drawers, three pull-out cutting boards, and step-open garbage can storage. A hidden stand mixer drawer keeps your countertops clutter-free, while the stunning tiled backsplash and gorgeous tile flooring add the perfect modern touch. The sleek stainless steel appliances (all updated in 2020) shine, and the convenience of WiFi-enabled appliances and outlets with USB ports throughout the kitchen makes cooking and entertaining a breeze. The bathrooms, also remodeled in 2020, bring a spa-like feel to everyday living. The lower-level bathroom is a true retreat, featuring beautiful stonework, multiple showerheads, a built-in shower nook for your personal care essentials, and an inset for hanging towels. Every shower will feel like a rejuvenating escape. The main-level bath is equally stylish and functional, with modern finishes and thoughtful storage solutions, including pull-out shelves in the linen closets and bathroom cabinets. Step down to the cozy lower-level family room which can also be used as a Primary bedroom. The beautiful fireplace creates the perfect space to relax and unwind. While the added closet is great for storage or as a walk-in closet for a primary suite. From here, walk out to the expansive fenced-in backyard, your own private retreat. Whether you're hosting summer barbecues, playing with pets, or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, this outdoor space is truly something special. The double-decker deck off the kitchen is ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings, while the sport court invites friendly competition—perfect for basketball or any outdoor fun. With plenty of room for a fire pit, garden, or lounge area, this backyard is designed for making memories. This home has been lovingly maintained, with freshly cleaned carpets and air ducts, ensuring a healthier living environment. A large walk-in closet in the family room provides plenty of organized storage, while a brand-new roof (installed summer 2024) offers peace of mind for years to come. While the home sits along a major roadway, this comes with some perks. As a highway, there are no street assessments to worry about, saving you unexpected costs down the road. It is also one of the first streets to be plowed! No need to stress about pulling out onto busy traffic- your driveway is tucked away on a quieter street, offering easy and safe access in and out. You get all the benefits os a well connected location without the hassle! Perfectly located near shopping, dining, major highways, and the airport, this home offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle of convenience, comfort, and charm. Come see for yourself—your dream home awaits!
