Set on a quiet dead-end street with direct access to the renowned trails of Galbraith Mountain, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the perfect balance of peaceful woodland living and everyday functionality. With nearly 2,000 square feet across three levels, the flexible layout provides room to live, work, entertain, and unwind. The main level welcomes you with a spacious entry, a large den or home office, hardwood floors through the kitchen and dining areas, and a generous living room with a gas fireplace and slider access to the expansive back deck. The kitchen features newer countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a pantry for additional storage. Upstairs, all 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms create a comfortable and private retreat. The lower level adds exceptional versatility with a large bonus room featuring new carpet & slider access to the backyard, along with a half bath, laundry room, and direct access to the two-car garage—ideal for a guest space, media room, playroom, or additional home office. Recent seller improvements include a new furnace, crawlspace remodel, added attic insulation, & fresh interior paint in select rooms. Outside, the sunny fenced backyard feels like a private oasis, lined with mature rhododendrons and lush foliage, complete with a storage shed & oversized deck perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Rarely does a home offer this combination of privacy, flexibility, & immediate access to hundreds of miles of biking & hiking trails.
