Tucked away at the end of a long, newly paved private drive, this Cully gem is one of those homes that simply needs to be experienced. Step inside and the surprise begins: a wonderfully open, welcoming floor plan with an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining, all in a beautifully maintained single-level home. The updated kitchen is as thoughtful as it is attractive, with custom cabinetry, pull-out shelving, clever use of hidden space, and even a dedicated pull-out for garbage and recycling. The kitchen opens naturally to the home's gathering spaces, while the gas fireplace adds warmth and can provide a welcome heat source even during a power outage.With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and approximately 1,894 square feet, there's room to spread out without sacrificing the ease of one-level living. Updates have been made with longevity in mind, including low-maintenance James Hardie siding, so future weekends can be spent enjoying the home rather than maintaining it. And then there's the outdoor space. The long driveway creates a sense of separation and privacy from the street, opening to a home and backyard that feel like their own little retreat. The backyard is made for gathering, relaxing, gardening, dining outside, or simply enjoying a little breathing room in the city. Thoughtfully updated, exceptionally cared for and much more than meets the eye from the street, this is a home you'll want to see in person. Come discover one of Cully's hidden gems.
