Welcome to 8516 Chippewa Road, a charming home nestled on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac in the Andorra neighborhood. This property offers a warm and inviting feel, with a layout designed for comfortable everyday living. Natural light fills the home, highlighting its welcoming spaces and creating a bright, airy atmosphere. This three-bedroom home features a gorgeous primary suite with stylish built-in closets and a shoe closet that even Carrie Bradshaw would fawn over. A wooden accent wall with crystal sconces adds to the overall aesthetic. The full bathroom on the second floor includes a stunning clawfoot tub and a wood-paneled ceiling. The open-concept main floor includes an updated kitchen and a cozy living space. An additional area off the kitchen features a wood-burning stove and sliding glass doors that lead to a patio, making it ideal as a dining room or a cozy den. Downstairs, you’ll find a fully finished retreat area with a completely waterproofed crawl space, complete with lighting for all your storage needs. This level also includes a lovely full bathroom and a dedicated laundry room with a newer Navien tankless gas water heater. Every detail in this home has been meticulously thought out. The exterior of the home is truly show-stopping, with perennial plantings throughout the expansive, tiered landscape. The hot tub provides the perfect retreat during the cold winter months and is equally refreshing in the spring and summer. A large studio structure on the property can be used as an art space, yoga studio, or additional storage. Two additional sheds offer even more storage options. The yard is a true outdoor escape into nature. The location offers convenient access to local shopping, dining, schools, and major roadways. This property is hot! Showings will begin at the Open House on Saturday, January 24th, from 12 PM to 2 PM.
